Abstract

 Synovial chondromatosis is a rare lesion, which is still believed by most authors to be reactive rather than neoplastic. We report on a case of synovial chondromatosis with clonal chromosomal changes [43,XX,der (1) t (1;13) (p21–22;q21),-6,-13,-14, add(21) (q21)]. The presence of clonal chromosomal changes in this and in three previously reported cases suggests that synovial chondromatosis is a true neoplastic lesion.
