Sumario:Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a locally aggressive benign tumour of the synovial membrane and tendon sheath. The unique presentation of this tumour is hemosiderin deposition with synovial proliferation. Depending on the situation, surgical excision is always the first line of treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy. Arthroscopic excision is preferred in some intraarticular nodular PVNS cases. This is a rare pigmented villonodular synovitis involving flexor hallusis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior (TP). The tumour was entirely extra-articular without any joint involvement. The tumour was the diffuse type of PVNS and was treated by excision followed by radiotherapy. There is no recurrence till nine months of follow-up.
