Abstract: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign idiopathic proliferative disorder that results in villous and/or nodular formations in the joints, tendon sheaths and bursae. We report a case of PVNS in a 12 year old female child with monoarticular involvement of the calcaneocuboid joint, an unusual location for this disease. The patient was treated successfully with open excision of the lesion and followed up for 4 years. We also present a concise literature review on diagnostic and treatment options for this rare synovial pathology.
