Ankle synovial chondromatosis: Clinical, radiological, and surgical findings: A case report

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition defined by the presence of cartilaginous lesions in the synovium of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It most typically affects large joints, such as the knee, hip, and shoulder, but it is also reported in smaller joints. Nonetheless, ankle involvement is relatively uncommon. A complete history and clinical, physical, and radiographic examinations are usually used to determine the diagnosis. Hence, we reported a case of a young patient with left ankle primary synovial chondromatosis who presented with a left ankle mass and chronic pain.
