[Oradlist] TMJ: synovial chondromatosis.?

[Allan Abuabara]

Dear Colleagues,

Attached (panoramic TMJ radiograph -  open mouth and maximum
intercuspidation - MI) is a case of a woman, 17-y-o with pain in TMJ. The
images is from the left TMJ but the radiopaque images appear on both sides.

My suspicion is synovial chondromatosis, although the incidence is more
common during the fourth and fifth decades of life.

What do you think about it?
Thanking you.
Allan Abuabara.
