Abstract

Objective To analyse the ultrasonographic characteristics of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee(PVNS).Methods The ultrasonographic characteristics of the knee joints of PVNS patients confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results Four of 16 cases showed the knee joint effusion and synovial thickening.The other 12 cases showed joint effusion and varying degrees of synovial proliferation.Rich blood flow could be detected in all proliferated synovium.The destruction of the bone and ligament were found in 4 and 9 cases respectively.The obvious proliferation of synovial tissue,Abundnant hemosiderin deposition and rich blood vessels were shown in the thickening synoviumor as found by pathology.Conclusion Ultrasonography can be used for the primary screening of PVNS and the diagnosis of typical PVNS.
