Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Fifth Metatarsophalangeal Joint: About A Case and Reviewed the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Villonodular synovitis (VNS) is a rare benign joint disorder. Its location on the metatarsophalangeal joint remains exceptional. Here we report the case of a 32-year-old patient with a localization of this tumor at the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint. Subchondral geodes were observed at the head of the fifth metacarpal on standard radiography. CT found the mass and described its characteristics. Surgical resection showed an encapsulated, bluish-red mass with well-defined boundaries. The anatomopathological study confirmed the diagnosis. After 8 months of follow-up, no recurrence was observed.
