Abstract
We report a case of a nodular variant of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee that developed after an arthroscopic lateral release of the synovium by laser for an unrelated condition. This case, the first reported case of pigmented villonodular synovitis following laser treatment, lends weight to the etiological association with the pathological processes of the response to trauma.
