Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis of the TMJ is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that may be neoplastic or hyperplastic in nature. A histopathologically confirmed case, the first to be identified and treated by arthroscopy, is presented. Removal of the affected synovial tissue and of loose particles was accomplished arthroscopically, a relatively non-invasive alternative to open arthrotomy.Entities:
