Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of patients who suffered from primary osteochondroma (OC) concurrent synovial chondromatosis (SC) in temporomandibular joint (TMJ). METHODS: Patients who suffered from OC or SC treated in our hospital during 2001 to 2013 were reviewed, among them 3 were diagnosed as primary OC concurrent SC. The medical history, clinical manifestations, radiographic examination, pathological features, and follow-up results three months to five years after surgery were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide exact preoperative diagnosis. The presence of loose cartilage or calcification bodies in OC indicated the possibility of OC concurrent SC. CONCLUSIONS: Attention should be paid to the presence of loose bodies during treatment, which suggests the possibility of OC concurrent SC, in order to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
