Abstract:
Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the formation of hyaline cartilaginous nodules; pathogenesis is not fully understood. A soft tissue mass is an even more rare presentation of synovial chondromatosis. Histologically the condition shows some atypical features that suggest a malignant process. We describe a case of primary synovial chondromatosis presenting as soft tissue mass.
