Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign condition of tenosynovial proliferation that mostly affects the knee joint. In this case report, we present a 39-year-old female with a ten-year history of gradual progression in the size of painful soft tissue swelling in her left knee. Our case report emphasizes the MRI's ability to provide detailed information on tendon sheath and synovium involvement, as well as extensive extra-articular involvement and hemosiderin deposition.

Article Synopsis
- Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are aggressive tumors often found in younger individuals, leading to long-term disability and typically managed via surgery, which has its own risks.
- This review focuses on systemic treatment options, particularly for the diffuse subtype (DT-TGCT), and assesses recent advancements and the historical context of these therapies.
- Notable progress includes the development of CSF1 receptor-targeting therapies like pexidartinib, paving the way for further research on treatment effectiveness and optimizing patient outcomes.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare neoplastic proliferation of large joints, including the knee, with both localized PVNS (LPVNS) and diffuse PVNS (DPVNS) types. DPVNS is known to recur at a higher rate following resection; however, there is little evidence comparing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between the two types. The purpose of this study was to compare PROs between patients with LPVNS and DPVNS involving the knee 2 years after surgical resection.
