Synovial chondromatosis (SC) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disease that is characterized by the development of nodules of cartilage within the synovial connective tissues of articulating joints. Reports of extracapsular TMJ SC are rare. A case is presented of primary SC of the TMJ with extension to the pterygoid plates, with a suspected traumatic etiology. The differences between primary and secondary SC are discussed.
颞下颌关节滑膜软骨瘤病(SC)是一种罕见疾病,其特征是在关节的滑膜结缔组织内形成软骨结节。关节外颞下颌关节滑膜软骨瘤病的报道很少。本文报告一例原发性颞下颌关节滑膜软骨瘤病延伸至翼突板,病因疑似外伤。文中还讨论了原发性和继发性滑膜软骨瘤病之间的差异。
