Primary Synovial Chondromatosis Presented as Non-Calcified Loose Bodies in the Popliteal Cyst / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

A magnetic resonance imaging test was performed on a 56-year-old male patient, who visited with a one-month history of painless swelling at the popliteal area of the left knee. A popliteal cyst and non-calcified loose body in the cyst were identified. Synovial chondromatosis was diagnosed from a histology examination by excision and biopsy. This paper reports this case of extra-articular synovial chondromatosis of the knee with a review of the relevant literature.
