Abstract
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a well-described, benign proliferative disorder of the synovium that rarely affects the elbow joint. Only 12 cases have been reported in this site. A case is presented of elbow involvement by pigmented villonodular synovitis that was documented by magnetic resonan ce imaging before surgery and monitored until recurrence.
