Abstract

Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is very rare. We report a case of synovial chondromatosis of the TMJ with extraarticular extension that was diagnosed with MRI and CT. Histopathologic evaluation indicated that this case was synovial chondromatosis in intermediate phase.
