Introduction: TGCT (tenosynovial giant cell tumor) is a mono-articular proliferative condition that begins in the synovial membranes. Diffuse TGCT (DTGCT) has more prominent symptoms with high risks of recurrency.
Case Presentation: In this case, we presented a 32-year-old male with recurrent case of DTGCT. The patient has been treated with arthroscopic synovectomy with the recurrence of disease. The patient was finally treated by open synovectomy combined with arthroscopy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.
Discussion: The aim of this case is to report the success of open synovectomy combined with arthroscopy followed by 31 cycle of adjuvant radiotherapy in the recurrent case of DTGCT.
Conclusion: Open synovectomy combined with arthroscopic synovectomy followed by adjuvant RT is a promising treatment modality in patient with DTGCT.

Introduction And Importance: Tuberculous osteoarthritis, a rare condition affecting the elbow in 1-5 % of cases, poses diagnostic challenges due to its subtle clinical presentation, often resulting in delayed diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of tuberculous osteoarthritis involving the elbow joint. Our aim is to underscore the complexities associated with diagnosing this condition and to emphasize the critical importance of early recognition and appropriate management strategies for optimal patient outcomes.

Background: Musculoskeletal (NTM) infections are rare, particularly post-acupuncture therapy, and present diagnostic challenges due to their infrequency and potential severity. Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes. NTM-infected wounds involving the joints are difficult to treat, and only a few cases have been reported.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon hyperproliferative disease of the synovium presenting either as localized or a more aggressive diffuse form. Its occurrence following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rare, and its presentation alongside patellar clunk syndrome (PCS) has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 64-year-old female patient diagnosed with diffuse PVNS (D-PVNS) two and half years following TKA, co-occurring with PCS.

: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferation of synovial tissue that can cause joint damage. The hip, although less commonly affected than the knee, presents a challenging diagnosis and treatment, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the gold standard for detection. Surgical excision, arthroscopic or open, is the main treatment approach, but there is no consensus on the best strategy for the hip.
