Synovial osteochondromatosis of the sole of the foot. A case report.
Synovial osteochondromatosis of the foot is a rare disorder. We present the first report of synovial osteochondromatosis of the intermetatarsal/tarsometatarsal joints. When a mass develops in the sole of the foot and heterotopic ossifications are revealed radiographically, synovial osteochondromatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
