We describe a child with pigmented villonodular synovitis initially treated for a presumed hip infection. The correct diagnosis was not made until 2(1/2) years later on a second admission. This is a rare disease with vague presenting symptoms that requires a high index of suspicion. Magnetic resonance imaging and tissue biopsy are usually needed for a definitive diagnosis. Surgery is the primary treatment option; however, the patient described was unusual in that she did well to date with conservative measures.
我们描述了一名患有色素绒毛结节性滑膜炎的儿童,该儿童最初被误诊为髋关节感染。直到第二次入院时的 2 年半后才做出正确诊断。这是一种罕见疾病,症状模糊,需要高度怀疑。通常需要磁共振成像和组织活检才能做出明确诊断。手术是主要的治疗选择;然而,所描述的患者不同寻常,她迄今为止通过保守治疗效果良好。
