“…The incidence of spinal GCTTS in female patient was slightly higher than that in male patient in our study. The female to male ratio was 1.33:1, which is roughly concordant with that in previous studies [3,4].…”

Objectives To review the clinical and imaging data of spinal giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) to improve our understanding of the disease. Methods The imaging findings, clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes of 14 patients with pathologically confirmed spinal GCTTS were analysed retrospectively. Results All 14 patients had a single spinal lesion, including ten cervical vertebra lesions and four thoracic vertebra lesions. CT scan findings: The lesions showed osteolytic bone destruction and were centred on the facet joint, eroding the surrounding bone with a paravertebral soft tissue mass. MRI scan findings: all the lesions manifested predominantly as isointense or hypointense on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI). On T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), eight lesions were hypointense, and four were isointense. The remaining two lesions showed slight hyperintensity. The enhanced scans of eight lesions showed moderate to marked homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement. PET/CT findings: Among the five patients who underwent PET/CT, three presented lesions with well-defined, sclerotic borders, and the uptake of 18F-FDG was markedly increased. One lesion showed an ill-defined border and an uneven increase in 18F-FDG uptake with an SUVmax value of 8.9. A recurrent lesion was only found on PET/CT 45 months after surgery and the SUVmax was 5.1. Conclusions Spinal GCTTS is extremely rare. Osteolytic bone destruction in the area of the facet joint with a soft tissue mass and hypointensity on T2WI images are indicative of the spinal GCTTS. GCTTS shows high uptake of 18F-FDG, and PET/CT is helpful in detecting recurrent lesions.

“…PVNS is seen to affect a wide range of age with no definite sex predilection, and polyarticular involvement is unusual [6,7]. Among all sites of PVNS involvement, PVNS involving the spine is very rare with the literature description limited mainly to small case series and a few case reports (Table 1) [4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Therefore, the true incidence of PVNS involving the spine still remains uncertain.…”

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the cervical spine: a case report

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disease of the synovial membranes. Large joints are most commonly affected, while PVNS rarely affects the spine. We present a 70-year-old female patient with PVNS in the cervical spine who experienced both radiculopathy and myelopathy. An osteolytic lesion was observed over the sixth and seventh intervertebral foramina on the right cervical vertebrae on the radiological examination, and surgery was performed to remove the tumor and stabilize the cervical spine. Partial tumor resection was performed to preserve the right seventh cervical root. She was pathologically diagnosed with PVNS. After surgery, the patient's symptoms improved, and no recurrence was observed at outpatient follow-up 1 year later. In consideration of the recurrence rate, complete resection of the tumor is considered the standard treatment, but additional research is needed because there is no standard for adjuvant treatment in cases of incomplete resection or for methods to reduce the recurrence rate.

“…The diffuse-type TGCT (D-TGCT) is often referred to as pigmented villonodular synovitis, and predominantly affects large joints, such as the knees. D-TGCTs tend to be locally aggressive and to recur 1 , in contrast to the localized-type 5 . TSGCT arising in the elbow is rare regardless of type 1 .…”
