Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign intraarticular metaplasia of synovium. This process may result in the production of detached particles of highly cellular cartilage in the involved joint spaces. It is most often reported in the larger joints of the body including the knee, hip, elbow, and ankle. Since Axhausen in 1933 reported the first case affecting the temporomandibular joint, several articles have been listed in the literature regarding the presentation, diagnosis, and management of this form of an arthropathy. This is a case of a recurrent synovial chondromatosis that was approached with a meniscectomy and a complete synovectomy.
