Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules that are generally intra-articular and can lead to chronic pain and limit the function of involved joints. We report on the novel use of radiotherapy that was used to treat a 42-year-old man with rapid recurrences of extensive synovial chondromatosis in the knee refractory to multiple operations. Based on follow-up MRI scans and clinical findings, the disease process was halted with no progression seen over 5 years.
滑膜软骨瘤病是一种罕见的良性疾病，其特征是形成多个软骨结节，这些结节通常位于关节内，可导致慢性疼痛并限制受累关节的功能。我们报告了放射治疗的新用途，该治疗用于治疗一名42岁男性，其膝关节广泛滑膜软骨瘤病多次手术难治且快速复发。根据后续的MRI扫描和临床发现，疾病进程得以停止，5年内未见进展。
