Abstract

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by cartilaginous proliferation in the synovium. The cartilaginous nodules occur in the synovial membrane of a joint, bursa, or tendon sheath. It frequents large joints including knee, hip, and elbow. Synovial chondromatosis originating from the first metatarsal is extremely rare. We report a case of 37-year-old man with synovial chondromatosis of the first metatarsal.
