    Abstract:
    Synovial chondromatosis (SC) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare benign condition characterized by the formation of metaplastic cartilage in the synovium resulting in numerous attached and unattached osteocartilagenous (calcified) loose bodies within the joint. The purpose of this article is to present a case of SC of the TMJ and to discuss current diagnostic approaches, treatment options and relevant follow-up data. We present a case of SC in the TMJ that was confirmed by histopathological analysis and treated via arthrotomy, and present the typical imaging findings, including Computed Tomography (CT) and orthopantomography (OPTG) findings.
