ABSTRACT

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition. Regarding its epidemiology, the primary form is uncommon, whereas the secondary form is more frequent because it is associated with trauma, osteoarthritis, and osteoarthropathies. It usually affects large joints, such as the knee, which explains its higher prevalence in this population. In our case, we analyzed a female patient with an initial diagnostic impression of gonarthrosis and a sensation of knee locking; subsequently, after reviewing the imaging studies, the diagnosis was confirmed and secondary synovial chondromatosis was established as a secondary diagnosis.
