Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis is the most common tumour-like lesion that is found in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Although it is benign and self-limiting, it can recur. We retrospectively reviewed 274 cases that were treated in our department from 2001-16 and found two recurrences, the radiological, surgical, histopathological, and follow-up results of which we report here. The reasons for their recurrence were analysed and elucidated.Entities:
