Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign proliferative tumor of the synovium. It is very rare, and most cases occur in the knee joint. In this article, we report a case of localized pigmented villonodular synovitis in the knee joint of a 14-year-old boy. This condition is rare in the knees of the children. We preferred to remove the tumor with arthrotomy instead of arthroscopy for two reasons: (i) the patient was obese, (ii) we thought that recurrence risk was high after arthrotomy.
色素沉着绒毛结节性滑膜炎是一种滑膜的良性增殖性肿瘤。它非常罕见，大多数病例发生在膝关节。在本文中，我们报告了一例14岁男孩膝关节局限性色素沉着绒毛结节性滑膜炎的病例。这种情况在儿童膝关节中很罕见。我们倾向于通过关节切开术而非关节镜检查来切除肿瘤，原因有两点：（i）患者肥胖，（ii）我们认为关节切开术后复发风险较高。
