Villonodular synovitis is a type of synovial swelling.
Types include:
Pigmented villonodular synovitis
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath
Though they have very different names, they have the same histology, and stain positive for CD68, HAM56, and vimentin.[1] They are sometimes discussed together.[2][3][4]
