Abstract

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare disease in which cartilaginous masses form in the synovial membrane. The cartilaginous foci may detach to form loose bodies within the joint, which may calcify or ossify. This condition is commonly seen in the knee, hip, or elbow, but is rare in the shoulder (Varma & Ramakrishna 1976, Volpin et al. 1980, Leo & Nocera 1985).
