Villonodular synovitis

Villonodular synovitis is a type of synovial swelling.

Types include:

  • Pigmented villonodular synovitis
  • Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath

Though they have very different names, they have the same histology, and stain positive for CD68, HAM56, and vimentin.[1] They are sometimes discussed together.[2][3][4]
