Abstract:
Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder with rare occurrence in the elbow. Case reports in the literature for elbow synovial chondromatosis have described presenting symptoms secondary to peripheral nerve compressions or localized bursitis. We discuss a case of synovial chondromatosis of the elbow that presented as an isolated soft-tissue mass over the radial head-more suggestive of a soft-tissue tumor than of synovial chondromatosis.
