Different mechanisms of synovial hyperplasia in rheumatoid arthritis and pigmented villonodular synovitis: the role of telomerase activity in synovial proliferation. (1/56)
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the involvement of telomerase activity in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS). METHODS: Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), synovial infiltrating lymphocytes, and synoviocytes were isolated from peripheral blood samples and synovial tissue obtained from 18 patients with RA, 9 with PVS, 12 with osteoarthritis (OA), and 10 with knee joint trauma. Cellular telomerase activity was measured by the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay. In RA patients, the telomerase activity level in synovial infiltrating lymphocytes was assessed for correlations with histologic features in rheumatoid synovium. RESULTS: A high level of telomerase activity was detected in the PBL and synovial infiltrating lymphocytes from RA patients and in the synoviocytes from PVS patients, whereas the enzyme activity was expressed at a low-to-borderline level in the PBL and synovial lymphocytes from OA, PVS, and trauma patients and was absent in the synoviocytes from RA as well as OA and trauma patients. In RA patients, the telomerase activity level in synovial infiltrating lymphocytes was significantly correlated with the intensity of synovial lining hyperplasia, microvessel proliferation, lymphocyte infiltration, and percentage of synovial cells positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen in rheumatoid synovium. CONCLUSION: Telomerase activation in lymphocytes may provide insights into the progression of synovitis and synovial proliferation in RA. Moreover, the enzyme may be implicated in the proliferation of synoviocytes in PVS. (+info)Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the hip and knee. (2/56)
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is an uncommon disease that remains a diagnostic challenge. Presenting complaints commonly involve one joint, most often the knee or hip. Symptoms of pain and swelling characteristically have an insidious onset and are slowly progressive. The physical examination may be completely normal. Radiographs of the knee may appear normal or may show a periarticular soft tissue density, expansion of the suprapatellar pouch and local osseous changes confined to the patellofemoral articulation. Radiographs of the hip may show erosions in the head and neck of the femur and acetabulum. Magnetic resonance imaging usually demonstrates key diagnostic features, which include joint effusion, elevation of the joint capsule, hyperplastic synovium and low signal intensity resulting from hemosiderin deposition. The diagnosis of pigmented villonodular synovitis is confirmed by biopsy, and the treatment of choice is synovectomy. (+info)Localized pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee joint: neoplasm or reactive granuloma? A review of 18 cases. (3/56)
OBJECTIVE: The localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee joint is a rare disease with limited alteration of the synovial membrane, the pathogenesis of which is the subject of controversial discussion. METHODS: Eighteen cases have been documented in our hospital since 1976. All of the patients had additional cartilage or meniscus damage. Treatment consisted of excision of the lesion and the adjacent synovial membrane, as well as therapy of the additional damage. RESULTS: The patients who had received such therapy were followed for 3-9 yr, without any clinical, sonographic or magnetic resonance tomographic signs of recurrence. In addition to the lack of a tendency towards recurrence, none of the cases displayed any further characteristics of the diffuse form of villonodular synovitis, such as invasiveness or malignant transformation. CONCLUSIONS: We therefore suggest that pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee joint should be classified more strictly than before into a potentially neoplastic (diffuse) form and a reactive granulomatous (local) form. From the cases observed, we conclude that degenerative joint lesions may be the cause of the reactive granulomatous form. (+info)Pathology of the synovium. (4/56)
Synovium is specialized mesenchymal tissue that is essential for the appropriate function of the locomotor apparatus. It is the site for a series of pathologic processes that are characteristic, and in some cases specific, to this distinctive tissue. In this article, the normal microscopic anatomy of synovium is briefly reviewed. Synovial proliferative disorders, including pigmented villonodular synovitis, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath, hemosiderotic synovitis, and fatty infiltration of the synovial membrane are discussed. Additionally, the subjects of intrasynovial cartilaginous lesions (primary and secondary synovial chondromatosis) and crystal deposition diseases are reviewed. Finally, the response of synovial tissues to implanted foreign materials that are used in large and small joint arthroplasty are described. (+info)Proliferating cell nuclear antigen labelling index in localised pigmented villo-nodular synovitis and its relationship to the size of nodules. (5/56)
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is one of the cell cycle-related proteins directly involved in DNA synthesis. It is a marker of cellular proliferation and has been shown to correlate with ploidy and proliferative activity of cells. Its expression has been used to estimate the growth fraction of human cancer and its prognostic value. Pigmented villo-nodular synovitis (PVNS) is characterised by a nodular lesion in the paratendinous synovial tissue or, less frequently, in a joint. Whether PVNS is a neoplastic or inflammatory lesion remains controversial. We have studied immunohistochemical PCNA expression with pc10 monoclonal antibody in 16 paraffin sections, in 16 cases of localised PVNS, or giant cell tumour of tendon sheath. We have found significant correlation between the size of the lesions and PCNA-LI (labelling index). (+info)Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the ankle in an adolescent. (6/56)
We report a case of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) in an adolescent with monarticular involvement of the ankle and without congenital anomalies or sibling involvement. (+info)Growing wrist mass. (7/56)
A 46 year old man presented with a growing mass over his wrist. Erosions of the triquetrum and hamate were present radiographically. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a solid mass arising from the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, which was T(1) hypointense and isointense, T(2) hypointense, and bloomed on gradient echo images. The preoperative diagnosis of giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath was confirmed on histopathological examination of the excised specimen. The clinical, pathological, and imaging features, with emphasis on MRI findings, of this condition are reviewed. (+info)Synovial hemangioma--a case report. (8/56)
True synovial based hemangiomas are rare lesions and should be differentiated from mass lesions especially pigmented villonodular synovitis. A case of 4 years old male child, presenting with recurrent painful swelling, is described in the present article. The differential diagnosis is also discussed. (+info)Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign condition that affects the synovial membrane, which lines the joints. It is characterized by the proliferation of synovial cells and the deposition of hemosiderin, a pigment resulting from the breakdown of blood products. This can lead to joint swelling, pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. PVNS typically affects the large joints such as the knee or hip, but it can also occur in smaller joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths.
There are two forms of PVNS: localized and diffuse. Localized PVNS, also known as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath, affects a specific area within the joint and is more likely to be treated successfully with surgery. Diffuse PVNS, on the other hand, involves the entire synovial lining of the joint and has a higher recurrence rate even after surgical removal.
The exact cause of PVNS remains unclear, but it is not considered a malignant condition. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the affected synovium, with or without radiation therapy or chemotherapy to reduce the risk of recurrence. In some cases, arthroscopic surgery may be an option for localized PVNS.
Synovitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane, which is the soft tissue that lines the inner surface of joint capsules and tendon sheaths. The synovial membrane produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and allows for smooth movement.
Inflammation of the synovial membrane can cause it to thicken, redden, and become painful and swollen. This can lead to stiffness, limited mobility, and discomfort in the affected joint or tendon sheath. Synovitis may occur as a result of injury, overuse, infection, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
If left untreated, synovitis can cause irreversible damage to the joint and surrounding tissues, including cartilage loss and bone erosion. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to reduce inflammation and manage pain.
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are a type of benign or rarely malignant bone tumor that is characterized by the presence of multinucleated giant cells. These tumors typically affect adults between the ages of 20 and 40, and they can occur in any bone, but they most commonly involve the long bones near the knee joint.
GCTs are composed of three types of cells: mononuclear stromal cells, which produce the matrix of the tumor; multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells, which resemble the bone-resorbing cells found in normal bone; and macrophages, which are part of the body's immune system.
The mononuclear stromal cells produce a variety of growth factors that stimulate the formation and activity of the osteoclast-like giant cells, leading to localized bone destruction. The tumor may cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected area.
While GCTs are typically benign, they can be aggressive and locally destructive, with a tendency to recur after surgical removal. In some cases, GCTs may undergo malignant transformation, leading to the development of sarcomas. Treatment options for GCTs include curettage (scraping out) of the tumor, followed by bone grafting or the use of a cement spacer to fill the defect, and/or adjuvant therapy with radiation or chemotherapy.
Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign (non-cancerous) bone tumor that typically develops in the epiphysis, which is the rounded end of a long bone near a joint. It primarily affects children and adolescents, with around 90% of cases occurring before the age of 20.
The tumor arises from chondroblasts, cells responsible for producing cartilage during bone growth. Chondroblastoma is usually slow-growing and typically causes localized pain, swelling, or tenderness in the affected area. In some cases, it may weaken the bone and lead to fractures.
Treatment generally involves surgical removal of the tumor, followed by curettage (scraping) of the surrounding bone tissue and replacement with bone grafts or substitutes. Recurrence is possible but rare, and long-term prognosis is usually favorable.
Hemosiderin is a golden-brown pigment that consists of iron-containing protein complexes called ferritin and ferrikinase. It is insoluble in water and forms as a result of the breakdown of hemoglobin in the reticuloendothelial system, primarily in macrophages. Hemosiderin deposits can be found in various tissues and organs, such as the spleen, liver, and brain, under conditions of increased red blood cell destruction or impaired iron metabolism. These deposits are often associated with diseases such as hemochromatosis, thalassemia, and chronic inflammation.
Mononeuropathy is a medical condition that refers to damage or dysfunction affecting a single peripheral nerve, outside of the brain and spinal cord. This can result in weakness, numbness, or pain in the area served by that specific nerve. Mononeuropathies can occur due to various reasons such as trauma, compression, infection, or systemic diseases like diabetes. The symptoms and severity may vary depending on the type and location of the affected nerve.
The knee joint, also known as the tibiofemoral joint, is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the human body. It is a synovial joint that connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). The patella (kneecap), which is a sesamoid bone, is located in front of the knee joint and helps in the extension of the leg.
The knee joint is made up of three articulations: the femorotibial joint between the femur and tibia, the femoropatellar joint between the femur and patella, and the tibiofibular joint between the tibia and fibula. These articulations are surrounded by a fibrous capsule that encloses the synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.
The knee joint is stabilized by several ligaments, including the medial and lateral collateral ligaments, which provide stability to the sides of the joint, and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, which prevent excessive forward and backward movement of the tibia relative to the femur. The menisci, which are C-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures located between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus, also help to stabilize the joint by absorbing shock and distributing weight evenly across the articular surfaces.
The knee joint allows for flexion, extension, and a small amount of rotation, making it essential for activities such as walking, running, jumping, and sitting.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where an orthopedic surgeon uses an arthroscope (a thin tube with a light and camera on the end) to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. The surgeon makes a small incision, inserts the arthroscope into the joint, and then uses the attached camera to view the inside of the joint on a monitor. They can then insert other small instruments through additional incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue.
Arthroscopy is most commonly used for joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist. It offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain and bleeding, faster recovery time, and reduced risk of infection. The procedure can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including torn ligaments or cartilage, inflamed synovial tissue, loose bone or cartilage fragments, and joint damage caused by arthritis.
The synovial membrane, also known as the synovium, is the soft tissue that lines the inner surface of the capsule of a synovial joint, which is a type of joint that allows for smooth movement between bones. This membrane secretes synovial fluid, a viscous substance that lubricates and nourishes the cartilage and helps to reduce friction within the joint during movement.
The synovial membrane has a highly specialized structure, consisting of two layers: the intima and the subintima. The intima is a thin layer of cells that are in direct contact with the synovial fluid, while the subintima is a more fibrous layer that contains blood vessels and nerves.
The main function of the synovial membrane is to produce and regulate the production of synovial fluid, as well as to provide nutrients to the articular cartilage. It also plays a role in the immune response within the joint, helping to protect against infection and inflammation. However, abnormalities in the synovial membrane can lead to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, where the membrane becomes inflamed and produces excess synovial fluid, leading to pain, swelling, and joint damage.
The hip joint, also known as the coxal joint, is a ball-and-socket type synovial joint that connects the femur (thigh bone) to the pelvis. The "ball" is the head of the femur, while the "socket" is the acetabulum, a concave surface on the pelvic bone.
The hip joint is surrounded by a strong fibrous capsule and is reinforced by several ligaments, including the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments. The joint allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation, and circumduction movements, making it one of the most mobile joints in the body.
The hip joint is also supported by various muscles, including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, iliopsoas, and other hip flexors and extensors. These muscles provide stability and strength to the joint, allowing for weight-bearing activities such as walking, running, and jumping.
Medical Definition:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed cross-sectional or three-dimensional images of the internal structures of the body. The patient lies within a large, cylindrical magnet, and the scanner detects changes in the direction of the magnetic field caused by protons in the body. These changes are then converted into detailed images that help medical professionals to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions, such as tumors, injuries, or diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, heart, blood vessels, joints, and other internal organs. MRI does not use radiation like computed tomography (CT) scans.
