Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition affecting synovial joints. It occurs uncommonly in the shoulder and is rare in the pediatric population. We present a case of a 13-year-old male patient with shoulder pain who was diagnosed with synovial chondromatosis and a posterior labral tear. He was treated with arthroscopic loose body removal, synovectomy, and posterior labral repair and recovered well from the surgery. Four years after the surgery, he developed pain in the same shoulder, but the cause of the pain was not investigated per the patient's decision. Synovial chondromatosis should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with shoulder pain and loss of function with potential for recurrence.
