Abstract

Synovial chondromatosis is a condition which often affects the major joints. On rare occasions, it may affect the temporomandibular joint. We report such a case, which was mistakenly diagnosed and treated as a parotid mass. We include relevant radiological and histological investigations and a brief literature review.
