First described by Kleinman et al. in 1980, the spine pigmented villonodullar synovitis (PVNS) is a relatively uncommon benign disorder of unknown aetiology; that is characterized by progressive synovial proliferation. We present a rare case of PVNS involving the C-2 anterior element extending of the oropharyngeal region.
