“…It is usually monoarticular and its characterized by development of multiple osteochondral loose bodies [7]. This disorder is more commonly seen on the knee followed by the hip, elbow, ankle, temporomandibular, and shoulder joints respectively.…”

“…SC starts with a benign synovial proliferation that leads to chondral or osteochondral foci formation. The exact etiology remains unknown, but it is theorized that it may be due to synovial irritation secondary to trauma injury, or even possible infection [7]. SC can be classified as primary or secondary.…”

In this case report we present a 49 years old male patient with clinical suspicion of a rotator cuff injury and multiple Synovial Chondromatosis (SC). He had a compatible USG and X-rays for the pathology. He was treated with a shoulder arthroscopy with resection of loose bodies and supraspinatus tenoplasty. Synovial Chondromatosis is a rare pathology, and even more in the shoulder. It is a benign disorder of unknown cause characterized by synovial metaplasia and proliferation, causing cartilaginous loose bodies. These loose bodies have a relatively similar size, can be ossified and can create either blocking mechanical symptoms or erosive injuries in articulations.

“…A soft tissue mass with circumscribed or peripheral calcification and a relative lucent center typically is seen on radiographs in the subacute phase, whereas the chronic phase often reveals a more densely ossified mass with a cortex surrounding central trabecular bone [1,10], unlike the small uniform ossifications observed in this case. Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon benign condition, which involves the synovial lining of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae [8,9]. It is divided into two main types: primary and secondary forms.…”

“…The etiology is unknown, but it is thought to occur owing to synovial irritation and hyperplastic metaplasia of the synovial connective tissue [9,13]. The natural history of the disease involves growth of hyaline cartilage in the subsynovial connective tissue and eventually results in the formation of cartilaginous loose bodies, which subsequently may ossify [8].…”

A 32-year-old woman presented with onset of progressive left leg pain and swelling after minor trauma 8 weeks previously. Approximately 6 weeks after injury, she was evaluated by a physician at an outside hospital and was prescribed crutches. Imaging studies at that time revealed a calf mass. She then was referred to our orthopaedic clinic for further evaluation. The pain was aggravated by walking, prolonged sitting, or standing. On physical examination, her left calf was tender to palpation and asymmetrically enlarged relative to the contralateral side. A calf mass was palpated. The mass extended from the proximal popliteal fossa down to the lower distal third of the tibia, clinically measured approximately 18 cm, was firm throughout its length, not freely movable from the tibia, and appeared to be deep to the subcutaneous tissue. Radiographic and MR evaluations of the patient's left calf were performed. Based on the history, physical examination, and imaging studies, what is the differential diagnosis? A biopsy of the mass initially was performed 2 months after the onset of symptoms. The initial biopsy sections were interpreted as showing heterotopic ossification without evidence of malignant cells.

Introduction: Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign tumor involving the major joints. This condition results from metaplasia of synovium into chondrocytes leading to formation of multiple loose bodies. Extra articular glenohumeral joint synovial chondromatosis involving long head of biceps is very rare. Case Report: A 38-year-old male presented with history of insidious onset, dull aching pain in right shoulder for 6 months. Clinicoradiological examination revealed calcific mass around the long head of biceps tendon. The calcific mass and loose bodies were removed en bloc. Histopathological examination concurred to be synovial chondromatosis. Conclusion: We hereby report a rare case of long head biceps tendon synovial chondromatosis of shoulder which was successfully treated by combined arthroscopic and open method. The results of surgical excision are excellent. Keywords: Long head biceps, synovial chondromatosis, metaplasia.
