99mTc-MDP 3-Phase Bone Imaging in 3 Cases of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis

ABSTRACT Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative synovial benign disorder, which is characterized by villonodular hyperplasia of joints, tendon sheath, and synovium; invasion of adjacent tissue; and sometimes visible hemosiderin deposition. Studies regarding bone scan findings of PVNS were relatively limited. Here, we report our findings on 99mTc-MDP 3-phase bone scan with SPECT/CT images on delayed phase in 3 patients with joint PVNS.
