Popis:	Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon, benign neoplastic nodular cartilaginous lesion of the synovium that can lead to lose bodies and arthritic degeneration if left untreated. We report the case of 2 patients with primary Synovial chondromatosis of the ankle with 139 and 12 loose bodies, respectively, who were treated arthroscopically. Both patients had successful outcomes without recurrence or malignancy, after excision of the lesions. We have reported the highest number of loose bodies (i.e. 139) in the ankle extracted arthroscopically. To conclude, Synovial chondromatosis, although benign, needs detailed investigations to rule out secondary causes and timely intervention to prevent further consequences. Arthroscopic treatment provides easy access and allows early return to activities. Level of clinical evidence: 4- Case Report.
