Popis: rimary synovial osteochondromatosis is a benign cartilaginous metaplasia of the synovium, which may affect any synovial joint. The knee is most often involved, followed in frequency by the hip and shoulder. 1 Although the sonographic appearance of this arthropathy has been described, 2-4 to our knowledge, only 1 case involved the knee joint, and that particular case only involved the popliteal fossa. 5 We report a case of primary synovial osteochondromatosis of the knee affecting both the popliteal region and the Hoffa fat pad shown on gray scale and power Doppler sonography, with radiographic, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and surgical correlation.
