Abstract
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a reactive benign tissue proliferation that involves synovium, tendon sheath, and bursa. From the literature, it emerges that it is a rare condition that affects approximately 1.8 cases per 1 million people [1]; the incidence peak is between 30 and 50 years of age and both genders are equally affected [2].
