摘要：

A single case of synovial chondromatosis has been presented. The disease entity is rare, when all articulating joints are considered, but the involvement of the temporomandibular joint is practically nonexistent. Although synovial chondromatosis is a benign process, the bizarre morphologic appearance of the tissue cells presents a difficult diagnostic problem in distinguishing between chondromatosis and chondrosarcoma. Management of the patient is, indeed, less dramatic and traumatic in the case of chondromatosis than when an erroneous diagnosis of chondrosarcoma is made. It is essential that radiologic, histologic, and clinical expressions be considered before a final diagnosis is made and surgical treatment is instigated. © 1969.
