Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Hand in the Asian Population

Abstract: Fifty-five localised pigmented villonodular synovitis (giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath) in the hands and wrists in 53 patients, treated in a local hospital over a 5-year period, were reviewed. The mean age at presentation was 39.9 years, with 84.9% of the cases being Chinese. There was a predilection for the ring finger and females.

“…Localized PVNS presents as a well-circumscribed mass on magnetic resonance imaging. PVNS has been described as both intra- and extra-articular within the hand including the carpal bones, the metacarpophalangeal joints, the phalanges, and the extensor compartments [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. However, there are no documented reports of PVNS causing isolated entrapment of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve (zone 2).…”
