Abstract

Solitary synovial osteochondromatosis (SSO) is a rare variant of synovial osteochondromatosis. SSO is thought to represent a solitary juxta-articular mass arising from synovial cells located within joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths. This lesion can grow and show clinical and radiological features of neoplasm. Differentiation from temporomandibular joint diseases is important. Some reports around the knee, foot, nape of the neck, wrist, elbow, and buttocks have described SSO, but SSO of the temporomandibular joint is thought to be uncommon. We report herein a case of giant solitary synovial osteochondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint. While extremely rare, SSO should be considered when treating pathologies of the temporomandibular joint.
