Abstract

the primary diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis of temporomandibular joint is extremely rare. often many months, or even years pass before the diagnosis is confirmed. synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease of cartilage transformation of synovial membrane with formation of loose bodies within the joint space. a 28-year-old women had experienced pain of the left TMJ area at mastication. Radiographs of the left TMJ revealed calcified loose bodies in superior temporomandibular joint space. treatment consisted of removal of calcified loose bodies and synovail membrane. after surgery, pain of Lt temporomandibular area at mastication disappeared. until present after surgery there have been no recuurence of symptoms.

악관절부위의 활액성 연골종증은 매우 드물기 때문에 확진하기 까지 종종 몇 개월 몇 년이 걸리도 한다. 활액성 연골종증은 드문 양성 병소로 활액 내 수 많은 연골성, 골연골성 결정과 관절강내의 소성체가 형성되는 질환으로 관절강 내에 소성체를 형성하는 활액막의 연골성 변성으로 정의할 수 있다. 본 증례에서 29세 여자 환자로 저작시 동통을 주소로 내원하였다. 방사선 소견상 상관절강내에 석회화된 소성체가 발견이 되었다 치료는 석회된 소성체와 활액막 일부를 제거하였다. 술 후에 환자의 저작시의 동통이 완전히 사라졌다. 현재 아무런 재발 증상을 보이지 않고 있다.
