A 13 year old girl showed increasingly over one and a half year a gait disturbance suspected to be a progressive neurologic disorder. Laboratory tests and routine x-rays were normal. Soft tissue radiography finally demonstrated a dense area on the sole of the left foot which was excised and identified as a pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). The girl is well now. Because PVNS is a rare disorder in childhood the diagnosis is seldom suspected and difficult; however, it should be considered as a cause for localised pain and its consequences.
一名13岁女孩在一年半多的时间里步态紊乱日益加重，怀疑患有进行性神经系统疾病。实验室检查和常规X光检查均正常。软组织放射成像最终显示左脚脚底有一密度增高区，该区被切除后确诊为色素沉着绒毛结节性滑膜炎（PVNS）。该女孩目前状况良好。由于PVNS在儿童期是一种罕见疾病，很少会怀疑到其诊断，且诊断困难；然而，它应被视为局部疼痛及其后果的一个病因。
