PG - 80-5 AB - Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a relatively uncommon benign lesion that is characterized by diffuse synovial proliferation, mainly occurring in knee joints. Cytogenetic reports about this lesion are few and they describe the presence of numerical and structural chromosome aberrations. We obtained PVNS tissue from the left knee joint of a 53-year-old female, and performed cytogenetic analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was also performed by using the formalin fixed, paraffin embedded PVNS tissue. Two seemingly unrelated clones were found: the first clone had structural abnormalities of chromosome 1, 3, and 18, and the second one had trisomy 7 as a sole numerical abnormality. FISH using a chromosome 7 specific alpha-satellite DNA probe revealed that interphase nuclei possessed two or three signals. We describe the clonal aberrations found in a case of PVNS. The deleted lesion of the chromosome 1 (1p10-1p31.3) includes the locus of coagulation factor III gene (1p22-p21), and the coagulation factor V (1q21-q25) locus includes another breakpoint that is 1q25. In addition, recurrent structural abnormalities at the short arm of chromosome 1 have been reported. These facts might play some role in the hemorrhagic tendency and histogenesis of these lesions.
