Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon lesion, which is characterized by cartilaginous and osseous metaplasia of the joint synovium. Synovial chondromatosis usually involves a large joint and rarely occurs in the hand. Intra-articular synovial chondromatosis during the hand should be considered in the differential diagnosis of swollen, stiff or painful joints. Other possible diagnoses include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, trauma and chronic infection. Moreover, if enchondral ossification of loose bodies is not seen a diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis can not be made preoperatively. Intra-articular synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition and surgical synovectomy remains the most effective treatment. The authors report a case of synovial chondromatosis of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint.

Primary synovial osteochondromatosis is a disorder characterized by the formation of multiple intra-articular osteocartilaginous bodies. Clinical symptoms are not specific, which makes the diagnosis difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in the diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis of the hip, especially in cases in which ossified bodies are not present. Synovial osteochondromatosis tends to be progressive but self-limiting and the optional treatment is controversial. We described two patients with primary osteochondromatosis of hip who presented with symptoms and signs of single joint arthropathy of hip.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by metaplastic formation of multiple cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous nodules within connective tissue of the synovial membrane of joints. Osteochondroma is a benign lesion of osseous and cartilagenous origin. It is frequently found in the general skeleton, but is rare in the mandibular condyle. We experienced 2 patients with abnormal appearance of temporomandibular joint. Histologic diagnoses were not obtained, because surgery was unwarranted in view of the lack of symptoms and the benign differential diagnosis. We describes 2 cases that show the characteristics of both disease simultaneously.

Synovial chondromatosis is a condition of metaplastic and focal formation of cartillage in the intimal layer of synovial membrane. The etiology is unknown. The cartilagenous foci become pedunculated and may be sequestrated into the synovial cavity to form loose body. The center of focus may calcify and ossify. Of the ten cases of synovial chondromatosis experiences by the authors, five cases invo1ved the knee joint, one case both knee joint, two cases the hip joint, two cases the elbow joint, one case the wrist joint. The diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis was made by the histopathological finding of the excised masses.

This is a case of synovial chondromatosis involving the left knee joint of a forty one year old man. Chief complaints were gradual development of pain and limitation of knee joint motion of about 10 years duration. K-ray study revealed a single radio-opaque loose body filling the joint cavity. This body, measuring about 3×2×2cm, was removed surgically and found to have a pedicle from the synovial membrane, consisting of fat and fibrous tissue. The diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis was confirmed by pathological study. The postoperative course was uneventful and three months after the operation, the range of motion of the affected knee joint was good.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon benign lesion characterized by multiple cartilagenous and osteocartilagenous nodules of the synovium and loose bodies. The affection is monoarticular and most commonly involves the knee and has an unknown etiology. Of the five cases of synovial chondromatosis experienced by the authors, both knee joints were involved in a case, two the elbow joint, and one the proximal phalanx of the left middle finger. The diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis was made by the histopathological findings of the excised masses.

Synovial cysts of the temporomandibular joint seem to develop by an increase of intraarticular pressure due to trauma or inflammation which causes capsular herniation. However, if inflammatory synovial cysts develop by an increase of synovial fluid into inflammation tissue in the capsule without capsular herniation, a differential diagnosis should include synovial chondromatosis and synovitis. This is a case report of a synovial cyst developed in a capsule of the temporomandibular joint.]]>

The diagnosis of soft tissue osteochondroma should be considered when a well-defined osseous mass is located in the soft tissues. The differential diagnosis includes myositis ossificans, tumoral calcinosis, synovial chondromatosis, and soft tissue osteosarcoma, true osteochondroma which arises from bone. One case of soft tissue osteochondroma in the knee, a lesion of uncertain pathogenesis is reported.

Villonodular synovitis, also called pigmented villonodular synovitis, is the benign lesion with the characteristic of locally aggressive proliferation of mononuclear histiocyte and giant cell. Typically it involves single joint, especially about 80% of disease occurs in the knee joint. Villonodular synovitis of the temporomandibular joint is very rare disease. Differential diagnosis includes synovial chondromatosis and tumors of the temporomandibular joint. Optimal treatment consists of complete excision of the mass and removal of the synovium including adjacent affected bony structures. This is a case report of villonodular synovitis developed in the temporomandibular joint.
