Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign neoplasm involving the synovial joints and tendon sheaths. It can be classified into localised and diffuse type. The diffuse type of PVNS is larger and very aggressive, clinically mimicking as soft tissue sarcoma. Radiological investigation can aid in knowing the relation of the mass to the joint cavity and invasion of surrounding structures. A biopsy can pose a diagnostic challenge for  pathologists. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Histopathological examination is necessary for a definite diagnosis. Keywords: Pigmented villonodular synovitis; diffuse; soft tissue sarcoma; histopathology.

AbstractIntra-articular (IA) and peri-articular (PA) tumors of the knee are frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Nonetheless, due to the possibility of great morbidity and potential mortality, it is important to recognize and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in a timely manner. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a concise, practical, and updated review of commonly encountered IA and PA tumors including intratendinous gout, synovial chondromatosis, schwannoma, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and synovial sarcoma, and a detailed description of differentiating features to include various imaging modalities.
