Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare, benign condition characterized by the formation of metaplastic cartilaginous nodules. The expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) in two cases of SC of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were immunohistochemically studied. The possible roles of FGF-2 and FGFR-1 in SC of the TMJ are discussed.
滑膜软骨瘤病(SC)是一种罕见的良性疾病,其特征为化生软骨结节的形成。采用免疫组织化学方法研究了两例颞下颌关节(TMJ)滑膜软骨瘤病中 fibroblast growth factor-2(FGF-2)和成纤维细胞生长因子受体-1(FGFR-1)的表达情况。并探讨了FGF-2和FGFR-1在颞下颌关节滑膜软骨瘤病中的可能作用。
