Abstract
Pigmented villonodular synovitis commonly occurs in synovial joints of
the appendicular skeleton, but rarely affects the synovial joints of
the spine. It has both neoplastic and benign features, and the etiolog
y is thought to be posttraumatic. The case of a young man presenting w
ith paraparesis and a large thoracic lesion is reported.
