Three patients with unexplained synovial inflammation were found to have an ulcerative, granulomatous synovitis on biopsy. Maize starch was identified in giant cells within the granulomata. Starch synovitis has clinical and histological similarities to starch peritonitis, which is thought to be an example of a cell mediated immune response.

三名原因不明的滑膜炎症患者经活检发现患有溃疡性肉芽肿性滑膜炎。在肉芽肿内的巨细胞中发现了玉米淀粉。淀粉性滑膜炎在临床和组织学上与淀粉性腹膜炎相似，后者被认为是细胞介导免疫反应的一个例子。
