A rare case of a swollen knee due to single large synovial chondroma
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Dentistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: A synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign neoplasm on the synovium. Although described as a benign disease, it can be very destructive and can cause severe osteoarthritis and pain. Case presentation: A 58-year-old Asian Female presented with left knee pain and swelling caused by diffuse intra-articular and extra-articular synovial chondromatosis. She underwent careful preoperative imaging and planning followed by open procedure in order to completely eradicate the disease. She has regained full range of movement and pain free knee post operatively. Conclusions: Although synovial chondromatosis is described as a benign disease, it can be very destructive and debilitating. A challenging management dilemma arises when confronted with both synovial chondromatosis and osteoarthritis.
