PVNS or TGCT (Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis, or Tenosynovial Giant Cell tumour) is a benign tumour affecting the synovial lining of joints and tendon sheaths, historically treated with surgical excision or debridement. We have shown previously this management is fraught with high recurrence rates, especially in its diffuse form. We present the encouraging early results of medical management for this condition with use of a CSF1 inhibitor, in comparison to a cohort of 137 cases previously treated at our institution.
