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
- Usually benign.
- Can be thought of as the large joint version of giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath.[5]
Classification
Subclassified - clinical:[6]
- Generalized PVNS.
- Localized PVNS.[7]
- Articular.
- Extra-articular.
Gross
Note:
- Localized form - classically fat pad inferior to patella.[9]
Microscopic
Features:[10]
- Subsynovial nodules composed of cells with:
- Abundant cytoplasm.
- Pale nuclei.
- Multinucleated giant cells.
- Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
- Foam cells.
DDx - general for the site:[11]
- Synovial chondromatosis.
- Gout.
- Pseudogout.
- Storage disorders.
- Granulomatous inflammation.
- Degenerative changes (osteoarthritis).
- Rheumatic disease.
Images

- PVNS - several images (upmc.edu).
- PVNS (webpathology.com).
- Localized nodular synovitis (nih.gov).[9]
IHC
- May be desmin positive.[12]
- May lead one to think rhabdomyosarcoma.

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.
