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 hemangioma is a developmental hamartoma of vascular tissue within the synovium; no cases involving the shoulder girdle have been described in the literature. Synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition in which synovial cells undergo metaplasia into hyaline cartilage and is also thought to infrequently affect the shoulder region. CASE REPORT A 44-year-old female presen...

Primary synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder, and involvement of the hip joint is rare. The clinical symptoms are usually non-specific, and a clinical diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis of the hip may be difficult and delayed, especially before the ossifying nodules become evident. Loose bodies in the joint can cause secondary degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip. Currently, the ...

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. The purpose of this case report is to document this rare synovial pathology, which required open synovectomy and debridement to eradicate it. In ...

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare lesion in the wrist, but some cases in the distal radioulnar joint have been reported and previous case reports emphasize joint calcifications, shown on preoperative plain radiographs. We report an extremely uncommon case of synovial chondromatosis in the pisotriquetral joint, in which radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate apparent calc...

abstract two cases (20 and 15 years old) of shoulder joint synovial chondromatosis were initially treated with arthroscopic debridement. one was further treated with a second arthroscopy and partial synovectomy (case 1) the second was fully treated by arthroscopic surgery (case 2). the postoperative control x- ray revealed no loose body and the joint was normal. one of the cases (case 1) was af...

VOL. 71-B, No. 1. JANUARY 1989 Both RH and FH underwent arthrotomy and synovectomy. Multiple free osteochondromatous bodies were removed as well as several smaller ones attached to the synovium. The histology of the synovium in both cases was similar, showing metaplastic foci of cartilage in the synovial tissue beneath the lining layer, typical of synovial chondromatosis. Some areas were underg...

Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign, monoarticular disease process that affects the synovial membrane of the joint, the synovial sheath, or the bursa around the joint. The etiology is unknown, but it has been associated with trauma in some cases. Although it is a benign lesion, if left untreated, it may lead to early secondary osteoarthritis of the joint. The knee joint is affecte...
