RESUMEN
La condromatosis sinovial es una metaplasia idiopática benigna de la membrana sinovial que afecta a 1/100.000 habitantes, en una relación hombre/mujer de 3 a 1 entre los 30 y 50 años. Predomina en grandes articulaciones como rodilla (70%), cadera (20%) y hombro (19%), y en menor proporción en codo y tobillo. Puede ser primaria o secundaria. La etiología es desconocida. La resolución es quirúrgica ya sea por artroscopia o por cirugía a cielo abierto, no existiendo otra alternativa terapéutica. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente con condromatosis sinovial en hombro derecho, que se comporta como una artropatía erosiva, indicándose metotrexato y resolviendo casi totalmente los nódulos condromatosos.
ABSTRACT
The synovial chondromatosis is a benign idiopathic metaplasia ofthe synovial membrane which affects one in 100,000 inhabitants. Itis 3 times more common in males, aged between 30 and 50 yearsold. It is commonly found in large joints such as knee (70%), hip(20%) and shoulder (19%) and less frequently in elbow and heel. Itcan be primary or secondary. The etiology is still unknown.The resolution is surgical by means of arthroscopy or open surgery,existing no other therapeutic alternatives.We present a male patient with primary synovial chondromatosis inthe right shoulder, leading to an erosive arthropathy. Treatment withmethotrexate resolved almost entirely the cartilaginous nodules.
