Synovial chondromatosis is a relative common pathology of the joint. It is also known as synovial osteochondromatosis.

Loose body redirects to this page.

General

  • Benign.
    • Malignant transformation rare <5%.[1]
  • Classically location: knee.[1]
    • Hip next most common site.
  • Usually adults.
  • Prevalence: male > female.

Note:

  • This is a clinicoradiologic diagnosis.

Gross/radiology

  • Intraarticular calcifications.
  • Diffuse involvement of the joint.
  • +/-Loose bodies in the joint (AKA joint mice).

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Hyaline cartilage +/- lobular surface.
    • +/-Lacunae with binucleate cells.
    • +/-Nuclear atypia - moderate to severe.[2]
  • +/-Synovial hyperplasia - ribbon like tissue with an epithelium that has eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • Bone.

Micro

The sections show multiple fragments of tissue consisting of bone covered by hyaline cartilage and associated with synovial hyperplasia.

There is no appreciable nuclear atypia or mitotic activity.
