ABSTRACT
This case series reviews two patients worked up and treated for unilateral synovial
chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint. The first was a 58-year-old female
who was evaluated and treated for synovial chondromatosis of the left temporomandibular
joint using an arthrotomy of the joint to remove the cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous
nodules. The second is a 63-year-old male who was evaluated and treated for synovial
chondromatosis of the right temporomandibular joint with removal of extracapsular
masses and an arthrotomy with intra-joint removal of nodules. Six-year radiographic
follow-up demonstrated no recurrence of the pathology in his case. The cases are reviewed
in this article, along with a current review of the literature.
