Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign neoplastic condition.
  • It most commonly affects large joints like the hip, knee, and shoulder.
  • Metatarsophalangeal joint involvement is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with symptoms related to the metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • Imaging and clinical examination confirmed the presence of synovial chondromatosis.
  • This represents a rare occurrence of the condition in this specific joint.

Findings:

  • Primary synovial chondromatosis of the metatarsophalangeal joint was diagnosed.
  • The case highlights the potential for this rare tumor to occur in less common locations.
  • A review of existing literature on metatarsophalangeal synovial chondromatosis was conducted.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of synovial chondromatosis in smaller joints is crucial for timely diagnosis.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on metatarsophalangeal joint involvement.
  • Further research may elucidate the specific etiology and optimal management for rare joint presentations.
