In 1900, Reichel reported a case of chondromatosis of the knee joint-capsule and described the formation of osteocartilaginous bodies by the synovial membrane.
There are three problems on synovial chondromatosis as follows:
1) Is synovial chondromatosis a true neoplasm or a chondrometaplasia?
2) Is the term “synovial chondromatosis” suitable for this condition?
3) Is there evidence of malignant transformation of an originally synovial chondromatosis?
Synovial chondromatosis is not so uncommon, but the case presented here is unique in that this osteocartilaginous body is single and huge, which is occupying the medial suprapatellar pouch of left knee joint.
