case_images: Swelling was involving mainly the suprapatellar fossa with mild pain present [Figure 1].
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the left knee joint showing numerable finger like projections appearing hypointense in all pulse sequence is seen diffusely along the synovial membrane of left knee joint, more in suprapatellar synovial recess with tense joint effusion

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of knee joint [Figure 2] was done, which showed innumerable finger like projections appearing hypointense in all pulse sequence is seen diffusely along the synovial membrane of left knee joint, more in suprapatellar synovial recess with tense joint effusion, suggesting PVNS.
case_images: Three phase bone scintigraphy of knee joint. Perfusion (a) and anterior and posterior blood pool (b) images demonstrates increased perfusion and blood pool concentration in left knee joint consistent with synovitis

case_images: Knee joint aspiration just before the Y-90 HA administration revealed brownish discoloration of the fluid due to the breakdown of blood products (hemosiderin) within the joint [Figure 5].

case_images: Imaging of bremsstrahlung of Y-90 activity distribution with a dual head gamma camera showed appropriate homogeneously intra-articular distribution of the radionuclide within the joint space [Figure 6].
