Methods:The related references were searched from SinoMed,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and Web of Science from date of databases establishment to October 2020,and the studies of synovectomy combined with postoperative radiotherapy were screened. According to the type of research,the corresponding evaluation methods were selected for quality evaluation of the literature. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. The primary outcome was recurrence,while the secondary outcomes included complications,excellent and good rate of function of knee,range of motion of knee,Lysholm score,and IKDC score of knee etcetera. Results:A total of 11 articles were included in meta-analysis,with 510 cases,280 in the combined group and 230 in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1)The recurrence rate in the combination group was significantly lower than that in the control group,[OR=0.33,95%CI(0.20,0.55),P<0.000 1];(2)The complications in the combined group were higher than that in the control group[OR=2.70,95%CI(1.16,6.31),P=0.02];(3)The excellent and good rate of the combined group was significantly better than that of the control group[OR=2.86,95%CI(1.23,6.64),P=0.01],and it also may be the result of different evaluation criteria of each study;(4)There was no significant difference range of motion[MD=2.96,95%CI(-0.54,6.47),P=0.10],Lysholm score[MD=3.22,95%CI(-0.51,6.96),P=0.09],or IKDC score[MD=2.88,95%CI(-1.07,6.82),P=0.15]in knee between the two groups. Conclusion:The meta-analysis shows that synovectomy combined with radiotherapy can reduce the recurrence rate of pigmented villonodular synovitis in knee,but compared with only operation,there are higher complications. However,the above conclusions need to be verified by long-term follow-up of more high-quality clinical studies.展开更多

Although, it is histologically benign, it can be locally aggressive, capable of extensive bone destruction. The disease has aggressive behavior and a high incidence of recurrence (40% - 60%). Case report: A 35 years old male presented with history of unilateral hearing loss and otalgia of six month duration. On examination, there was a soft bulge in the superior wall of external auditory canal. Contrast enhanced CT scan showed soft tissue density occupying the right external auditory canal and bulging into the middle ear cavity, displacing the intact ossicular chain medially with evidence of destruction of the posterior wall of the external auditory canal, glenoid fossa, mastoid bone and the scutum. The squamous part of the right temporal bone showed evidence of lateral bowing with discontinuity. Surgical resection was done through post aural approach. Histopathological examination revealed pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis which stained positive for CD 68. Post operatively patient was evaluated clinically and with radiological modalities which showed healthy mastoid cavity and no increase in post operative granulations on magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion: Pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis of temporomandibular joint is a rare entity. Due to the aggressive behavior of the lesion, radical or aggressive surgical resection should be done. Long term follow up with radiological modality should be done due to the high recurrence rate.展开更多
