“…Until the present time, only three cases of localized synovial chondromatosis around the popliteus muscle were reported. 4,5,7 Giancane et al reported a case of synovial chondromatosis in the popliteal-fossa. 7 They performed only arthroscopic synovectomy to reduce the swelling and local pain without removing the loose bodies.…”

Batheja et al reported another case of synovial chondromatosis which was formed in the proximal tibiofibular joint and they removed the loose bodies by open debridement.…”

A 14-year-old girl presented with pain during the motion of knee joint. Multiple loose bodies were detected in proximal tibiofibular joint area in simple radiography. MRI demonstrated multiple small calcifications in the cystic lesion which was located around the popliteus muscle from the proximal area of fibular head to the tibial attachment area of popliteus muscle. Loose bodies were excised successfully with only arthroscopic approach through popliteal hiatus. To our knowledge, arthroscopic excision of synovial chondromatosis of the proximal tibiofibular joint has not been reported.

“…This disease results from cartilage metaplasia and causes many pebble-like loose cartilage bodies in the joint. However, while the clinical examination may be similar, the distinct calcific ''bag of coins'' finding indicating the presence of multiple loose bodies on imaging distinguishes this disease from lipoma arborescens [12].…”

“…The etiology of this condition remains unknown. This condition is most commonly found in adult males during the third to fifth decades of life, and it is very rare in children and adolescents [ 2 ]. It commonly manifests as monoarticular joint pain, although involvement of more than one joint has been reported [ 3 ].…”

Synovial osteochondromatosis mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis in an adolescent: a case-based review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Synovial osteochondromatosis is an extremely rare benign condition in children and adolescents that have joint pain as a presenting manifestation. It is usually monoarticular with the knee as the most common affected joint. In this article, we describe the case of a female adolescent suffering from debilitating chronic right knee pain initially mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis, who was subsequently diagnosed with primary synovial osteochondromatosis. We present a review of synovial osteochondromatosis focusing on the clinical manifestations, radiographic features, histopathologic findings, and treatment, with a summarized review of pediatric patients with initial musculoskeletal presentations who were ultimately diagnosed as synovial osteochondromatosis. Although synovial osteochondromatosis is rare in children and adolescents, this condition should be included in the differential diagnosis of joint pain and may mimic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Appropriate diagnostic radiography, including both plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging, is necessary to accurately diagnose this condition. We also emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach to managing patients with synovial osteochondromatosis.
