What happens during the disease - villonodular synovitis (pigmented)
Villonodular synovitis (pigmented) is a rare inflammatory disorder of the synovial tissue that is caused by an abnormal proliferation of synovial cells and a deposition of pigment in the affected joint. this condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as trauma or infection. the abnormal proliferation of synovial cells leads to the formation of nodules and villous projections, which can cause pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. the deposition of pigment can further complicate the condition, leading to further inflammation and joint damage.
