Abstract:
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign and progressive metaplasia of the synovial membranes associated with the formation of cartilage in joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. There are a few reports of synovial chondromatosis with wrist involvement. Here, we report a case of a 59-year-old woman with synovial chondromatosis of the ulnocarpal joint of the right wrist, with an 18-month follow-up and review of the literature.
