Synovial Chondromatosis in the Shoulder

Synovial Chondromatosis (SC) is a non-common benign articular pathology characterized by synovial chondroid metaplasia and proliferation. Most of the times it presents in just one articulation and is rarely seen in diarthrodial joints [1-3]. It is three times more frequent on men than in women. The age of presentation is between 30 and 50 years old. Patients usually present with pain, swelling and restriction on range of movement, which often progress slowly for several years as in our case. SC affects most commonly the knee followed by the hip, elbow, ankle, temporomandibular, and shoulder joints respectively [4,5].
