Arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint synovial chondromatosis: Report of a case

Arthroscopically guided removal of large solitary synovial chondromatosis from the temporomandibular joint

“…The authors think simple arthroscopic removal of the solitary mass would not increase the risk of recurrence, which is consistent with other reports [8][9][10] . Many authors advocate open arthrotomy and removal of all affected synovium and loose bodies.…”

Intra- and extracapsular synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint: Rare case and review of the literature

“…There have also been several reported cases in which CT and MRI were not effective in diagnosis but retroscopy was. 13 , 14 Therefore, and to rule out malignant lesions sometimes, positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, gadolinium- or technetium-scintigraphy is recommended in the actual literature. 3 …”

“…31 Many authors suggested that CT, MRI imaging, and arthroscopy can facilitate the clinical diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis. 25,34,35 Nevertheless, a definitive diagnosis can be made only by histological examination. 27 In the reported case, the immunohistochemical analysis was negative for the following markers of malignancy: CD34, S100, and Actin 1A4; [18][19][20] this laboratory analysis was leading to confirm the suspect of the diagnosis of chondromatosis, erasing in this way the initial doubts derived from the analysis of the radiological findings.…”
