Abstract: Villonodular synovitis (VNS) is a benign tumor of the joint synovium, tendon sheaths and bursae. It is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis [1], occurring preferentially in the knees. There are localized, diffuse and mixed forms [2]. Although the clinical manifestations are aspecific, MRI allows a diagnostic approach, even if it can have differential diagnostic problems in case of atypia or with synovial sarcoma. Treatment consists of complete removal of the lesion to avoid recurrence [3].
