Synovial osteochondromatosis (SO) is a benign monoarticular disorder of unknown origin that is characterized by synovial metaplasia and proliferation resulting in multiple intra-articular cartilaginous loose bodies of relatively similar size, not all of which are ossified. It has been considered a rare condition with a frequent tendency to occur in the hips, elbow, and shoulder. Usually, the condition is monoarticular affecting any joint but the large joints are preferentially affected: knee (up to 65%), hips (25%). Occasionally, bursa or tendon sheaths may be involved. We report a case of osteochondromatosis with a rare localization, diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Keywords: Massive rotator cuff tears, Osteochondromatosis of the shoulder
