“…A literature review of 242 cases showed that SC of TMJ affects mostly women, in a ratio of 1.5:1, mainly between the 4th and 5th decade of life. Generally, SC is unilateral with higher prevalence at the right side [4,[8][9][10], but a few bilateral cases are reported. [1,[5][6][7]15].…”

“…Thus, regardless of treatment modality, it is imperative to proceed to complete removal of the cartilaginous nodules and synovia [4,36]. The assessment of synovia as well as its removal seems to be associated with the prevention of SC recurrence [34,35].…”

“…In these regions, male patients are most affected. Primary occurrence in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare in a proportion of female/male 1.5:1 [1][2][3][4]. Most of the cases are unilateral, at the right side with just a few cases of bilateral occurrence [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a chronic process, defined as a reactive cartilaginous proliferation, characterized by formation of cartilaginous nodules, usually loose in the joint space of the synovial membrane. It mainly affects large joints such as knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow, commonly in male patients. However, its manifestation in the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is a rare finding, occurring predominantly in females. This paper reports a case of a woman who presented to the service of Stomatology complaining of mouth opening limitations and pain in her left pre-auricular region. After clinical and radiographic analyses, the condition was diagnosed as SC of the TMJ. The loose bodies within the TMJ were removed under general anesthesia. Histological and followup features of this lesion are also discussed. To our knowledge, this is the second report of SC of the TMJ in Brazil.

“…In temporomandibular joint, both unilateral and bilateral cases are reported with more gravity to right side in unilateral cases [2]. Male/female ratio is 1:1.5 in occurrence [2,3]. It mainly occurs at the age of 30-50 [3].…”
