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.

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.
