56-year-old female
A 56-year-old female with no significant medical history presented with jaw joint clicking. The radiologist identified advanced articular remodeling in the right TMJ and degenerative joint disease in the left TMJ with a present reparative phase. Additionally, the radiographic appearance revealed a large loose articular body anterior to the left condylar head, strongly suggestive of secondary synovial chondromatosis in the left TMJ. The radiologist noted that this case raises awareness of the multitude of conditions that can affect the temporomandibular joints, and that it provides a valuable example of secondary synovial chondromatosis with an opportunity to discuss the differences between the primary and secondary forms.
