Abstract
Synovial osteochondromatosis may occur secondarily to trauma, which causes the connective tissue of the synovial membrane to undergo metaplasia and change to cartilage.A 54-year-old woman presented with pain in the left temporomandibular joint (TMJ). She reported that she had sustained TMJ trauma by a blow about 35 years previously. Arthrography, CT scan, and MRI showed that the lesion extended to the interior, anterior, and posterior regions of the left TMJ. This case was treated by selected tumor removal with condylectomy.
