Abstract

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disorder of the synovium affecting joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths. PVNS is further classified into diffuse and localized forms and rarely affects the shoulder. We report a case of nodular synovitis of the shoulder after arthroscopic and open anterior capsulolabral reconstruction. The histopathology and treatment of a nodular form of PVNS of the shoulder is discussed.
