“…Synovial reattachment may occur and result in either progressive ossification or, on occasion, complete resorption of the nodule. In severe cases, the osteochondral body may eventually penetrate the joint capsule and begin to impinge on adjacent tissues (Gottschalk et al 2012). The previous equine reports of synovial osteochondromatosis are all most consistent with the primary form (Kirk 1982;Smith et al 1995;Newell and Roberts 1996).…”

“…The nomenclature associated with the condition is confusing. Multiple different conditions are often discussed under the same umbrella, including chondromatosis of the joint capsule, diffuse chondroma of the joint capsule, joint chondroma, synovial osteochondromatosis and synovial chondromatosis (Gottschalk et al 2012). All represent a similar response of the synovial membrane and understanding the condition becomes simpler when viewed from an aetiopathological standpoint.…”

Summary Synovial osteochondromatosis represents a very unusual synovial response in the horse and can be either primary or secondary. The condition describes metaplastic and focal formation of cartilage within the intimal layer of the synovial membrane. The condition is also uncommon in other domestic animals, although occurs more frequently in man. Treatment usually involves arthroscopic removal of osteochondral bodies and resection of abnormal synovium. Recurrence is quite common and malignant transformation rarely occurs although, to date, this has not been reported in the horse.
