Resumen: | The aim of the present study was a comparative quantitative evaluation of cell populations involved in the proliferative and inflammatory compartment in both localised and diffuse pigmented synovitis villonodularis (PVNS). 15 cases of each localised and diffuse PVNS were examined by flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, double immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy with quantitative evaluation of CD3-, CD4-, CD8-, CD20-, CD57-, CD55-, CD68-, CD163- and h4Ph positive (+) cells. The proliferative compartment of localised and diffuse PVNS was mainly composed of double-positive CD68+/h4Ph+ (CD163+/CD55+) synoviocytes. The number of doublepositive synoviocytes for macrophage and fibroblast markers was significantly higher in diffuse compared to localised PVNS. The accompanying inflammatory infiltrate showed a predominance of cytotoxic cells (CD8+, CD57+), whereby the number of CD3+ and CD20+ cells was significantly higher in localised PVNS. The number of CD57+ NK cells was significantly higher in diffuse PVNS. The proliferating macrophage- like synovial cells and the cytotoxic lymphocytes could contribute to the aggressive behaviour of localised and diffuse PVNS. Moreover, with regard to the quantitative differences in cell composition between diffuse and localised PVNS and their different clinical behaviour, further studies should continue to analyse localised and diffuse PVNS separately. |
