Pigmented villonodular synovitis and bursitis (Jaffe) has been rarely reported and the pathogenesis is still open to study. In this study, the author could examine the specimens of 18 cases, which were obtained from synovial and bursa! tissues at surgery. First of all, the incidence of individual cells was described by using light microscope and the foam cell was disclosed to play an important role in this disease. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the cytogenesis of the foam cell by various methods, especially under the electron microscope whose findings have not been reported. Foam cells contain numerous and plemorphic cytoplasmic inclusions of lipid-cholesterol which were also proved by the polarizing microscope. About the cause of this disease, these results do not support the inflammatory theory and the metabolic disturbance of lipid-cholesterol is discussed.
