Pigmented villonodular synovitis is an unusual benign tumor of the joint lining. It is most common in the knee, but occasionally occurs in the ankle. It can present with pain and swelling of the joint. The appearance is characteristic on a magnetic resonance imaging scan. Complete excision and synovectomy is the usual treatment.

A 19-year-old Asian male presented to our emergency department with atraumatic right hip pain radiating to the right groin associated with pain on ambulation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the right hip with and without contrast revealed the diagnosis. Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare, monoarticular benign tumor originating from the synovium of the joint. The treatment is synovectomy of the pathological joint to prevent further disease progression.

We present a case of solitary vascular tumor on posterior cranial fossa in a 15-year-old female who had a complaint of headache on/off for six months with associated dizziness, nausea, vomiting and vertigo. Well circumscribed solid vascular mass was localized on posterior fossa by computed tomography along with magnetic resonance imaging scan. Furthermore, the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical findings and histological examinations.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 14, No. 2,  2017 Page: 47-50

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) has been well described in the literature. MRI has been used predominantly with diffuse PVS lesions. We recently had a patient with an unusual case of localized PVS of the ankle with bone and cartilage destruction. Preoperative MRI was useful in the diagnosis of localized PVS and in the planning for surgery. MRI in a patient with this lesion had not been documented previously, but should be considered whenever PVS, either diffuse or localized PVS, is suspected.
