Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis is a cartilaginous lesion arising from the synovial connective tissue, which may occur intraarticularly or extraarticularly. We report a case of intra plus extra articular synovial chondromatosis of ankle and foot. A 32-year-old male patient presented to us with pain, restricted dorsiflexion and frequent locking of the left ankle joint .X ray and clinical examination confirmed diagnosis of intra plus extra articular synovial chondromatosis. Intra-articular pathology was treated with arthroscopic excision of loose bodies and synovectomy, while extraarticular lesion was treated with open excision. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Such combination of synovial chondromatosis is very rare and clinically very significant due to its tendency for local recurrence and potential malignant transformation. We reported this case considering its rarity and clinical significance in view of diagnosis and management.
