title: Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint.
abstract: We report two cases of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial chondromatosis, one of which was in the early stage and treated arthroscopically. The second was more advanced and recurred after removal of the free bodies, and so required condylectomy and synovectomy.
