  • Title: Temporomandibular joint synovial chondromatosis with a traumatic etiology.
    Author: González-Pérez LM, Congregado-Córdoba J, Salinas-Martín MV.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2011 Mar; 40(3):330-4. PubMed ID: 20951553.
    Abstract:
    Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a metaplastic disorder characterized by the formation of cartilaginous nodules inside the articular space. SC is uncommon in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A few reports suggest a correlation between a traumatic episode and the development of SC. The authors describe the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of a patient with unilateral SC of the left TMJ in conjunction with bony resorption on the mandibular condyle and a clear traumatic etiology. They review and comment on previous reports in the literature.
