title: [Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee. 3 cases of pigmented villonodular synovitis].
abstract: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign monoarticular synovial proliferative disorder. Three cases involving the knee are reported. MR signs are highly suggestive: --joint effusion (blood); --hypointense synovial proliferation (irregular infrapatellar fat pad sign; hemosiderin deposits); --no loss of joint space. Diagnosis by MR Imaging is early, accurate and atraumatic.
