활막 연골종증(synovial chondromatosis)은 관절 활막에 존재하는 활액막 세포가 연골모세포로의 화생에 의해 발생하는 것으로 슬관절, 고관절 등의 큰 관절에 주로 발생하며 견관절에 발생하는 경우는 드물다. 술전에 진단하기는 어려운 경우가 많으며, 수술적 활액막 절제술이 치료에 효과적이다. 저자들은 어깨 관절의 불편감과 통증을 호소하는 44세 여자환자에서 초자연골로 구성된 유리체를 동반한 견봉하 공간의 연골종증을 경험하여 이를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

활액막성 연골종증은 관절 활액막으로부터 기원하는 증식성의 결절성 연골성 양성 종양이다. 영상의학적 소견은 다양하게 나타나는데 드물게 연골육종, 골육종 그리고 활액 육종과 같은 악성 종양과의 감별을 요하는 수가 있다. 저자들은 컴퓨터 단층 촬영에서는 관절 내 다 발성의 연골성 무기질침착이 뚜렷한 종괴로 인해 활액막성 연골종증을 예상할 수 있으나, 단순 방사선 소견 상 피질골에 근접하고 균질한 방사선비투과의 모습을 보여 방골성 골육종과 유사해 보이는 근위 경골의 후면에 발생한 원발성 활액막성 연골종증 1예를 보고한다.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by metaplastic formation of multiple cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous nodules within connective tissue of the synovial membrane of joints. Osteochondroma is a benign lesion of osseous and cartilagenous origin. It is frequently found in the general skeleton, but is rare in the mandibular condyle. We experienced 2 patients with abnormal appearance of temporomandibular joint. Histologic diagnoses were not obtained, because surgery was unwarranted in view of the lack of symptoms and the benign differential diagnosis. We describes 2 cases that show the characteristics of both disease simultaneously.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease of cartilage transformation of synovial membrane with formation of loose bodies within the joint space. The involvement of temporomandibular joint is very rare. Symtoms include swelling, pain, stiffness of the jaw, and inability to close the jaw. A case involving the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) and non-symptoms is presented.

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is an uncommon progressive cartilaginous metaplasia of residual mesenchymal cells in synovial tissue. This disorder usually affects large joints and is rarely observed in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). SC in TMJ is difficult to diagnose early owing to non-specific clinical symptoms. In this article, we report a patient with SC on the right TMJ, who presented with pain in the right TMJ and progressive occlusal changes, not responsive to conventional conservative temporomandibular disorder treatment for several months. This case emphasizes the importance of an accurate specific diagnosis for TMJ problems before the delivery of any treatment.

저자들은 좌측 슬관절 슬와부 종창으로 내원한 56세 남성 환자에 대해 자기공명영상 검사를 시행하여 슬와 낭종과 슬와 낭종 내부의 비석회화성 유리체를 확인하였다. 절개 생검술을 통한 조직 검사를 통해 비석회화성 유리체를 활액막성 연골종증으로 진단하였기에 슬관절의 관절 외 활액막성 연골종증에 대한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: We evaluated the results of treatment and clinical symptoms of 11 cases of synovial chondromatosis in the ankle joint. Material and Method: From February 2001 to May 2008, 11 cases with synovial chondromatosis involving ankle joint underwent surgical treatment. There were 5 males and 6 females. The average age at surgery was 51 years. The average follow-up period was 42 months. Duration from onset of symptom to treatment was 117 months. Chief complaints of patients, 9 cases were pain and 1 case was mass like lesion, 1 case was found on x-ray. Preoperatively, all cases were evaluated on simple x-ray, 4 cases on CT, 4 cases on MRI and 1 case on ultrasonogram. 10 cases underwent synovectomy and loose body removal. 5 cases of 10 cases underwent open synovectomy and loose body removal and arthrosocpic surgery. 4 cases of 10 cases underwent only open synovectomy and loose body removal and 1 case of 10 cases underwent only arthroscopic surgery. 1 case underwent tibiotalar arthrodesis. Results: The location of loose bodies was 7 cases on posterior and 4 cases on anterior and 4 case on lateral and 3 cases on multiple site. Postoperatively, all patients showed marked clinical improvement and had subjective satisfaction except reoperation 2 cases and arthrodesis 1 case. AOFAS score of all patients was average 82.2. Conclusion: Clinical results of the synovial chondromatosis of ankle joint were satisfactory. More accurate preoperative evaluation is required to achieve prevention of postoperative recurrence and better outcome.

Osteoarthritis is a noninflammatory degenerative disease affecting the articular surfaces and is accompanied by remodeling of the underlying bone. The sympotms of osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint are pain in the joint and muscles of mastication, limitation. Osteoarthritis is generally accepted that several factors can contribute to the trauma, aging process, internal derangement and MPDS. Radiographic features of the osteoarthritis are seen flattening of joint, sclerosis on flattened area and osteophyte or anterior lipping. In the past, osteoarthritis was considered to self-limiting disease. Currently, synovial chondromembrane is part of the process of osteoarthritis secondary to trauma. Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease of cartilaginous transformation of synovial membrane with formation of loose bodies within the joint space. The pathogenesis is more an active metaplastic than a neoplastic process. The cause of synovial chondromatosis is unknown. Although trauma and inflammation have all been cited as possible factors in tis pathogenesis. The clinical sign and symptoms are unilateral swelling of the joint region, pain in the joint area and crepitus seem to be the most reliable signs and symptoms. Radiographic evidence of loose bodies may or may not be present. This is a case report of 66 year old female with synovial chondromatosis, that is advanced disease of the osteoarthrits. We treated patient with surgical excision of lose bodies, diskectomy and synovectomy. The defected articular fossa area was reconstructed with temporalis fascia flap. The result was satisfactory.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease of cartilage transformation of synovial membrane with formation of loose bodies within the joint space. The knee and elbow are the most commonly involved sites and involvement of temporomandibular joint is very rare. Symtoms include swelling, pain, stiffness of the jaw, and inability to close the jaw. A case involving the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) is presented. A 28-year-old women had experienced pain of the left TMJ area and limitation of mouth opening. Radiographs of the left TMJ revealed calcified mass surrounding over the mandibular condyle and under the glenoid fossa. Treatment consisted of removal of calcified mass, reshaping of affected condyle and reconstruction with a auricular cartilage. After surgery, the patient's range of motion improved although deviation to the affected side. Until present after surgery there have been no recurrence of symtoms. We think that findings of this patitent agree with those of synovial synchondrmatosis in many aspects.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by cartilaginous proliferation within the synovial membrane of the articular joint. Smaller joints are rarely affected and it may be progressed to osteochondromatosis after ossification or calcification of metaplastic cartilage. It is commonly presented in the third to fourth decade of life, but rarely presented in adolescence. We report a unique case of synovial osteochondromatosis of the subtalar joint in 14-year-old baseball player. Arthroscopic removal of loose body and complete excision of the osteochondral mass with concomitant synovectomy resulted in satisfactory outcome without recurrence at final follow-up.
