Description: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a proliferative disorder of the synovium. The knee and upper extremity are the most commonly involved areas. Complete excision is the treatment of choice in most cases. Pigmented villonodular synovitis involving the subtalar joint is extremely uncommon, and has been rarely reported in the English literature
