62 yo active female with slowly growing mass at the plantar aspect of the right foot with discomfort. T1 Incidental TC coalition T1+C
Findings • 2.0x1.3x1.3 cm T2 hyperintense, avidly enhancing, well-circumscribed mass at the plantar aspect of the foot, deep to the flexor tendons between the 2nd and 3rd MT. • Appearance most consistent with a benign nerve sheath tumor. Synovial sarcoma also should be considered, however, this usually has more infiltrative margins and would be unusual in this patient’s age group.
Pathology • Benign encapsulated nerve sheath tumor, most consistent with a schwannoma.
Discussion-benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor • Schwannoma and neurofibroma. • Circumscribed fusiform mass. • May see entering/exiting nerve. • Isointense to muscle on T1. • Hyperintense on T2. Can have central low signal intensity (“target sign”) due to collagen and condensed schwann cells. • Variable enhancement. • “split fat sign”- peripheral rim of fat • Malignant degeneration very rare in schwannomas and solitary neurofibromas. 4% in NF-1.

Findings • Lobulated low signal intensity masses are seen extensively throughout the tibiotalar, distal tibiofibular, and subtalar joints with associated prominent osseous erosions at both sides of the joints. • Findings consistent with extensive pigmented villonodular synovitis.
Operative Report • Extensive PVNS • Treatment: anterior, posterior, and subtalar synovectomies and bone grafting of the defects in the talus and tibia.
Discussion-PVNS • Locally destructive fibrohistiocytic proliferation and villonodular protrusions of synovial membranes affecting joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths. • Lobulated masses with low signal intensity on all pulse sequences. • Subchondral erosions. • Usually monoarticular (knee 80%). • Presents with joint swelling and insidious onset of pain. Decreased range of motion.
Herman Wu • 43 year old male with lateral right ankle pain chronically.
Herman Wu • 9 year old male with left hip pain
Legg-Calve-Perthes • Case 1: Legg-Calve-Perthes; question regarding expected amount of associated bone marrow edema and synovitis.
Herman Wu • 33 year old female with knee re-injury • H/o ACL repair
Fabellar dislocation • Case 2: fabellar dislocation on MR; question regarding lack of gastrocnemius injury
