A case of synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is reported in which initial clinical and radiographic data indicated disk derangement. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed distention and thickening of the lateral capsule but could not delineate the numerous loose bodies found at arthrotomy. The literature is reviewed, and diagnosis and surgical therapy are discussed.
