Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour
Diagnosis in short

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour. H&E stain.

Synonyms pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) - old term

LM nodules composed of cells with abundant cytoplasm & pale nuclei, multinucleated giant cells, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, foam cells
LM DDx giant cell lesions, others
Gross pigmented
Site large joints - esp. knee or hip; occ. extra-articular

Prognosis usually benign

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour is relatively common mostly benign chondro-osseous tumour of the large joints.

It is also known as tenosynovial giant-cell tumour, diffuse type. Previously, it was known as pigmented villonodular synovitis, abbreviated PVNS.[1]

General

  • Typically knee or hip.[6]

Features:[7]

  • Subsynovial nodules composed of cells with:
    • Abundant cytoplasm.
    • Pale nuclei.
  • Multinucleated giant cells.

- DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE.
- DIFFUSE TENOSYNOVIAL GIANT-CELL TUMOUR (PIGMENTED VILLONODULAR SYNOVITIS).

Micro

The soft tissue sections show nodules with abundant hemosiderin-laden macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. Nuclear atypia is not identified. Mitotic activity is not apparent.
