Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon, benign condition of unknown etiology which affects articular joints. Foci of cartilage develop through metaplasia in the underlying connective tissue of the synovial membrane. These foci of cartilage enlarge with time into cartilage fragments, and may be detached from the affected synovium and released into the joint cavity. These cartilaginous foci and fragments may undergo calcification and ossification. The literature is reviewed and an additional case reported.
滑膜软骨瘤病是一种病因不明的罕见良性疾病，累及关节。软骨病灶通过滑膜下层结缔组织的化生而形成。这些软骨病灶随时间扩大形成软骨碎片，并可能从受累滑膜脱落进入关节腔。这些软骨病灶和碎片可能会发生钙化和骨化。本文对相关文献进行综述并报告1例新增病例。
