Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a disease of the joints which uncommonly involves the spine. We present a 70-year-old woman with radicular symptoms who was found to have a mass arising from a lumbar zygapophyseal joint with extension into the spinal canal. Following gross-total excision of the mass, histology revealed PVNS. One month after surgery, the patient had no symptoms and there was no evidence of residual or recurrent disease.

Abstract
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a disease of the joints which uncommonly involves the spine. We present a 70-year-old woman with radicular symptoms who was found to have a mass arising from a lumbar zygapophyseal joint with extension into the spinal canal. Following gross-total excision of the mass, histology revealed PVNS. One month after surgery, the patient had no symptoms and there was no evidence of residual or recurrent disease.
