Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is an uncommon disorder with an indolent clinical course and a slow progression. We report a rare case of unilateral early synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint with numerous nodules and discuss possible etiologies for the entity of loose bodies and the evolution of this disease. © 2014 Mutaz B.

Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint is an uncommon disorder with an indolent clinical course and a slow progression. We report a rare case of unilateral early synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint with numerous nodules and discuss possible etiologies for the entity of loose bodies and the evolution of this disease. © 2014 Mutaz B.
