Primary Synovial Chondromatosis of the Hip: Case Report and Litérature Review

Abstract

Primary synovial chondromatosis represents an uncommon benign neoplastic process with hyaline cartilage nodules in the subsynovial tissue of a joint, tendon sheath, or bursa. The knee, followed by the hip, in male adults are the most commonly involved sites and patient population. Radiologic findings are frequently pathognomonic. Radiographs reveal. The diagnosis can be made based on imaging alone, starting with radiography. A CT-scan or MRI-scan is indicated if diagnosis remains unclear based on the radiograph or it can be used for preoperative planning. We reported a case of 42 years with primary synovial chondromatosis of the left hip.
