Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no documented cases of isolated pigmented villonodular synovitis in the proximal tibiofibular joint in Korea. We have experienced satisfactory outcome by performing excision in a patient who has isolated, localized form, pigmented villonodular synovitis in the proximal tibiofibular joint. We report on this case along with briefly reviewing the related literature.
