PRIMARY SYNOVIAL CHONDROMATOSIS OF THE SHOULDER (CASE REPORT)

Abstract

Primary synovial chondromatosis of a shoulder is quite rare in clinical practice. The diagnostics of this pathology has to include the histological examination of intraarticular material to detect the signs of tissue malignant transformation. Currently surgical intervention of this disease involves the removal of intra-articular cartilaginous bodies and local synovectomy of the affected joint by arthroscopic or open methods. The authors describe the clinical, histologic and arthroscopic features of primary synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder in order to assess the possibility of its minimally invasive correction. The clinical example of diagnostics and treatment of patient with this pathology was presented.
