Multifocal pigmented villonodular synovitis in a child. A case report.
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a well-described disease that almost universally involves a single site. This is a report of an unusual case of multiple site involvement of pigmented villonodular synovitis in a child. In addition to multiple site involvement, the case is unusual for several reasons: asymmetric involvement, involvement of both upper and lower extremities, involvement of the pes anserine tendons, and the patient is an otherwise healthy child.
