RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign condition that affects the knee, leading to abnormal proliferation of the synovial membrane and the accumulation of hemosiderin in the joint cavity. Although it can be surgically treated, PVNS tends to have a high recurrence rate, potentially resulting in chronic joint damage. CASE REPORT: we present the case of a young woman who experienced localized pain in her right knee due to a recurrence of PVNS. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple multilobulated cystic lesions affecting the entire joint, including the ligaments. The patient underwent open surgical resection with a favorable clinical outcome. Histopathological examinations confirmed the absence of malignancy. CONCLUSION: while arthroscopy is typically the preferred treatment for PVNS, this case highlights the tendency for recurrence associated with this approach. Open surgical resection, supported by benign histopathological findings in this case, suggests a favorable long-term prognosis.


INTRODUCCIÓN: la sinovitis villonodular pigmentada (SVNP) es una enfermedad benigna que afecta la articulación de la rodilla, que causa una proliferación anormal de la membrana sinovial y la acumulación de hemosiderina en la cavidad articular. A pesar de que es posible tratarla mediante cirugía, la SVNP tiende a tener una alta tasa de recurrencia, lo que puede resultar en daño articular crónico. REPORTE DEL CASO: se presenta el caso de una mujer joven que experimentó dolor localizado en la rodilla derecha debido a una recurrencia de SVNP. La resonancia magnética reveló múltiples lesiones quísticas multilobuladas que afectaban a toda la articulación, incluyendo los ligamentos. La paciente fue sometida a una resección quirúrgica abierta, con una evolución clínica favorable. Los exámenes histopatológicos confirmaron la ausencia de malignidad. CONCLUSIÓN: aunque la artroscopía se considera el tratamiento de elección para la SVNP, este caso ilustra la tendencia a la recurrencia asociada con este enfoque. La resección quirúrgica abierta, respaldada por los hallazgos histopatológicos benignos en este caso, sugiere un pronóstico favorable a largo plazo.

RESUMO

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic central nervous system demyelinating disease whose onset and progression are driven by a combination of immune dysregulation, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors. The activation of microglia and astrocytes is a key player in multiple sclerosis immunopathology, playing specific roles associated with anatomical location and phase of the disease and controlling demyelination and neurodegeneration. Even though reactive microglia can damage tissue and heighten deleterious effects and neurodegeneration, activated microglia also perform neuroprotective functions such as debris phagocytosis and growth factor secretion. Astrocytes can be activated into pro-inflammatory phenotype A1 through a mechanism mediated by activated neuroinflammatory microglia, which could also mediate neurodegeneration. This A1 phenotype inhibits oligodendrocyte proliferation and differentiation and is toxic to both oligodendrocytes and neurons. However, astroglial activation into phenotype A2 may also take place in response to neurodegeneration and as a protective mechanism. A variety of animal models mimicking specific multiple sclerosis features and the associated pathophysiological processes have helped establish the cascades of events that lead to the initiation, progression, and resolution of the disease. The colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor is expressed by myeloid lineage cells such as peripheral monocytes and macrophages and central nervous system microglia. Importantly, as microglia development and survival critically rely on colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor signaling, colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibition can almost completely eliminate microglia from the brain. In this context, the present review discusses the impact of microglial depletion through colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibition on demyelination, neurodegeneration, astroglial activation, and behavior in different multiple sclerosis models, highlighting the diversity of microglial effects on the progression of demyelinating diseases and the strengths and weaknesses of microglial modulation in therapy design.
