Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour
Diagnosis in short

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour. H&E stain.

Synonyms pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) - old term

LM nodules composed of cells with abundant cytoplasm & pale nuclei, multinucleated giant cells, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, foam cells
Subtypes generalized, localized (articular, extra-articular)
LM DDx giant cell lesions, others
Gross pigmented, articular or extra-articular
Site large joints - esp. knee or hip; occ. extra-articular

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis usually benign

Diffuse tenosynovial giant-cell tumour is relatively common mostly benign chondro-osseous tumour of the large joints.

It is also known as tenosynovial giant-cell tumour, diffuse type. Previously, it was known as pigmented villonodular synovitis, abbreviated PVNS.[1]

General

Classification

Subclassified - clinical:[6]

  • Generalized PVNS.
  • Localized PVNS.[7]
    • Articular.
    • Extra-articular.

Gross

  • Typically knee or hip.[8]
  • May be extra-articular.[4]

Note:

  • Localized form - classically fat pad inferior to patella.[9]

Microscopic

Features:[10]

  • Subsynovial nodules composed of cells with:
    • Abundant cytoplasm.
    • Pale nuclei.
  • Multinucleated giant cells.
  • Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
  • Foam cells.

DDx - general for the site:[11]

IHC

Molecular

  • Clonal - overexpresses CSF1.[13]
    • Possible treatment with CSF1-R inhibitor Pexidartinib.[14]

Micro

The soft tissue sections show nodules with abundant hemosiderin-laden macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. Nuclear atypia is not identified. Mitotic activity is not apparent.
