Poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma is a variant of synovial sarcoma. We report a case of poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma imprinted after resection. The patient was a 47-year-old woman with a right shoulder pain for 6 months. The cytologic features showed malignant round to oval, monotonous tumor cells with high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. Some tumor cells showed perivascular distribution and nuclear melding. Vague rosette-like structures were seen. On immunohistchemical stains, tumor cells were diffusely positive for CD99 and focally positive for epithelial membrane antigen. Ultrastructural examination showed desmosomes and microvilli.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by cartilaginous proliferation within the synovial membrane of the articular joint. Smaller joints are rarely affected and it may be progressed to osteochondromatosis after ossification or calcification of metaplastic cartilage. It is commonly presented in the third to fourth decade of life, but rarely presented in adolescence. We report a unique case of synovial osteochondromatosis of the subtalar joint in 14-year-old baseball player. Arthroscopic removal of loose body and complete excision of the osteochondral mass with concomitant synovectomy resulted in satisfactory outcome without recurrence at final follow-up.

This study was performed to observe the effects of arthrography on the tissues of temporomandibular joint histopathologically. Among 17 rabbits (34 joints), 2 (4 joints) were used as normal control group, others (30 joints) were experimentally arthrographed using 0.03㎖ diatrizoate meglumine (Hypaque meglumine 60, Wintrop, U.S.A). The rabbits were sacrificed at 2-hour, 1-, 2-, 4- and 7-day after experiment and the tissues of temporomandibular joint were prepared according to the usual method for light microscopic examination. The results were as follows: 1. There were no changes of the fibrous connective tissues of the condylar fossa, the fibrous connective tissues and hyaline cartilages of the condyle, and the articular dislc 2. In 2-hour experimental group, the proliferation of the surface synovial membrane cells, the congestion and hemorrage of the vessels were observed. 3. In 1 and 2-day experimental group, minimal lymphocytes infiltration was observed with the proliferation of the surface synovial membrane cells, the congestion and hemorrage of the vessels. 4. In 4-day experimental group, the diminution of the proliferation of the surface synovial membrane cells was seen, but there was no vascular changes. 5. In 7-day experimental group, the tissues showed similar appearance to the normal control group.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign, monoarticular arthropathy that is characterized by the development of highly cellular, metaplastic cartilaginous nodules in the synovial membrane. It commonly affects larger joints such as the knee, elbow, wrist, shoulder, and hip. Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) is rare. Moreover, the temporal involvement of synovial chondromatosis without connection with joint is greatly rare. A 44-year-old women had experienced pain of the right TMJ area and limitation of mouth opening. MRI and CT revealed multiple calcified loose bodies and widening in right upper joint space of TMJ and osteolytic lesion in right temporal bone. Treatment consisted of removal of multiple loose bodies, resection of the osteolytic lesion through the preauricular approach. She was diagnosed with primary transitional synovial chondromatosis of TMJ with involvement of temporal bone. In spite of remaining of the loose bodies, pain and mouth opening improved and there have been no recurrence of signs and symptoms for 5 years follow up.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by metaplastic formation of multiple cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous nodules within connective tissue of the synovial membrane of joints. Osteochondroma is a benign lesion of osseous and cartilagenous origin. It is frequently found in the general skeleton, but is rare in the mandibular condyle. We experienced 2 patients with abnormal appearance of temporomandibular joint. Histologic diagnoses were not obtained, because surgery was unwarranted in view of the lack of symptoms and the benign differential diagnosis. We describes 2 cases that show the characteristics of both disease simultaneously.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease of cartilage transformation of synovial membrane with formation of loose bodies within the joint space. The involvement of temporomandibular joint is very rare. Symtoms include swelling, pain, stiffness of the jaw, and inability to close the jaw. A case involving the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) and non-symptoms is presented.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign lesion originating from the synovial membrane. It presents as adhesive or non-adhesive intra-articular cartilaginous loose bodies. Although the causes of synovial chondromatosis have not been fully elucidated, inflammation, external injury, or excessive use of joints have been suggested as possible causes. Synovial chondromatosis has been reported to occur most frequently at large joints that bear weights, with a rare occurrence at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). When synovial chondromatosis develops at TMJ, clinical symptoms, including pain, joint sounds, and mouth opening may common. Moreover, synovial chondromatosis rarely spreads to the mandibular condyle, glenoid cavity, or articular eminence of TMJ. The goal of this study was to discuss the methods of surgery and other possible considerations by reviewing cases of patients who underwent surgery for synovial chondromatosis that extended to the temporal bone.

Background Synocial chondromatosis(SC), a proliferative disorder of the synovial membrane. The etiology or cause of SC remains unclear. SC usually occurs in large articular joints such as knee, hip, elbow, and ankle. SC of the TMJ is very rare. It is a benign disease that mainly affects unilateral side. It can form cartilagenous and calcified loose bodies of various sizes and cause abnormal function of TMJ. Case Report In this paper, we report two cases of SC in the upper joint space of the left TMJ. One complained that "Sometimes the left jaw joint feels disoriented" and the other had no symptoms. CT scan and MRI showed left TMJ space widening, multiple tiny calcified mass. After clinical and radiographic analysis, we performed surgical removal of the lesion under genereal anesthesia. In the histologic examination, synovial chondromatosis was diagnosed in both patients. Conclusions We report two cases of synovial chondromatosis in the upper joint space of the left TMJ. We performed surgical removal of the lesion. The two patients showed good prognosis without recurrence or pain up to date.

본 연구는 관절염 유발시 일어나는 관절낭의 형태학적 변화를 조사하기위해 lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 주사로 인위적 관절낭 염증을 유발시킨 후 시간경과에 따른 윤활관절막과 섬유관절막의 향태 변화를 관찰하였다. BALB/C 암컷 생쥐 오른쪽 무릎관절낭에 LPS $300{\mu}g/kg$를 주사한 후 3, 7 그리고 14일에 무릎관절을 얻었다. 무릎관절은 4주동안 EDTA용액에 탈회한 후 통상적 방법으로 paraffin에 포매하였다. 또한 윤활관절막의 미세구조변화는 embed812로 포매한 후 관찰하였다. LPS 주사후 관절연골인접부위의 윤활관절막에서 시작된 세포과형성(hyperplasia)은 시간 경과후 전체 윤활관절막으로 확대되었다. 윤활관절막내의 미세구조의 변화로는 윤활포식세포(type I)가 관절강내로의 많은 돌기(filopodia)를 내었고, 잘 발달된 과립형질내세망을 가지는 type 2 윤활분비세포의 숫적 증가가 보였다. 한편 LPS 주사후 섬유관절막에서 나타나는 형태학적 변화는 collagen fiber 생성에 의한 섬유화가 증가되며, 이러한 섬유화를 주도하는 섬유모세포의 이주증가가 관찰되었다. 또한 혈관 주위에서는 백혈구의 이주 증가가 나타났으며, 탈과립형(degranulated type) 비만세포가 많이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 LPS 주사로 관절낭에서 염증이 유발되어 윤활관절막과 섬유관절막에서 헝태학적 변화가 나타났다. 이러한 일련의 형태학적 변화는 발병초기 류마티스성 관절염에서 나타나는 병리학적 소견과 동일한 결과로서, 앞으로 진행될 치료제 개발과 유발기전에 관한 해석을 위한 in vivo 실험의 적절한 모델로 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
