ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This case concerns a male patient complaining of pain and discomfort in his right elbow, associated with decreased range of motion. Elbow radiography showed an osteolytic lesion in the metaphyseal region of the distal humerus and magnetic resonance imaging showed intra-articular tumor formation with swelling that suggested pigmented villonodular synovitis. Arthroscopic treatment was performed in order to obtain a synovial biopsy and then to carry out total synovectomy. Anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The patient presented excellent progress through the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation proposed and continued to be asymptomatic 12 months after the operation.
RESUMO
RESUMO O caso diz respeito a um paciente do sexo masculino com queixa de dor e desconforto no cotovelo direito associados a diminuição da amplitude de movimento. Apresentava radiografia do cotovelo com lesão osteolítica da região metafisária do úmero distal e ressonância magnética que mostrava tumoração intra-articular com aumento de volume que sugeria sinovite vilonodular pigmentada. Foi feito tratamento artroscópico para biópsia sinovial e sinovectomia total. O estudo anatomopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico. O paciente apresentou ótima evolução com reabilitação fisioterápica proposta, até 12 meses de pós-operatorio apresentava-se assintomático.
