title: [Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint. A case report (author's transl)].
abstract: It is rare to see synovial chondromatosis lesions in the temporomandibular joint. They arise from metaplasic alterations in synovial tissue, to a degree sufficient to produce small rounded masses of cartilaginous tissue which become free intra-articular chondromas. A case of this type is described, this being apparently the first time that these lesions have been reported in the French published literature.
