Synovial chondromatosis (osteochondromatosis) is a rare lesion originating from the synovial membrane. It develops as result of metaplasia tendon sheath or membrane bursa in joint and causes formation chondral osteochondral foci synovium. These cartilaginous lesions can cause secondary degenerative changes free bodies within joint. Between ages 30 50, knee less commonly seen hip, ankle, shoulde...

INTRODUCTION Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition arising from the synovial membrane of the joints, synovial sheaths or bursae around the joints. Primary synovial chondromatosis typically affects the large joints in the third to fifth decade of life, although involvement of smaller joints and presentation in younger age group is also documented. The purpose of this case report is ...

Synovial chondromatosis affecting the glenohumeral joint is rare. Treatment primarily consists of arthroscopic loose body removal and synovectomy. Shoulder arthroplasty has been mentioned in the literature as a treatment option for patients with coexisting arthritis, although the results have been underreported. The case of an 84-year-old man with long standing synovial chondromatosis of the sh...

The study describes a rare clinical case of synovial chondromatosis of the temporo-mandibular joint, in a 53 year-old patient. In the prehospital stage, the patient was examined by additional diagnostic methods – 3D CT and subsequent computer simulation, in view of subsequent surgery. In January 2015, partial synovektomy of the right temporo-mandibular joint with removal of cartilaginous impuri...

We describe a case of highly refractory synovial chondromatosis, which recurred despite four arthroscopic synovectomies, a chemical synovectomy, two open synovectomies and an arthrodesis. A review of the literature revealed one similar case. Both presented with marked joint stiffness suggesting a poor prognosis. Although arthrodesis may relieve short-term symptoms it does not prevent further re...

INTRODUCTION Neoplastic disease in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare condition and is difficult to differentiate from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) based on symptoms and simple X-ray examinations. Potential differential diagnoses include synovial chondromatosis and pseudotumor, both of which are also relatively rare in the TMJ. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of pseudotumo...

Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is a rare disease, and extra-articular synovial condromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is even rarer. A review of the English literature from 1980 to 2000 has revealed 51 cases of synovial chondromatosis affecting the temporomandibular joint. We report a case of extra-articular synovial condromatosis, for which we carried out a long-t...
