Synovial osteochondromatosis in a 9-year-old girl: clinical and histopathological appearance

K Tiedjen et al. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2006 May.

Abstract

This article reports the clinical and histopathological appearance of synovial osteochondromatosis in the right knee joint of a 9-year-old girl. Initial symptoms such as monoarticular joint swelling led to further diagnostic procedures with the aid of different imaging techniques including X-ray examination and MRI. The definitive diagnosis was based on histopathological findings after performing arthroscopy of the affected joint and the intraoperative appearance of the synovial lesions. Besides antiphlogistical drug-therapy, the treatment of choice is synovectomy.
