Chondromatosis is a rare disease related to the pathology of the joint capsule, and is characterized by the fact that inside the joint cavity we find formations of various sizes, irregular round shape of tumor nodes, lying freely, sometimes on legs emanating from the synovium. These formations disfigure the shape of the joint and often cause a sharp restriction of mobility, sometimes bringing the range of motion to a minimum.
