Low Power view of Synovial Chondromatosis

Low Power view of Synovial Chondromatosis •A low power view of synovial chondromatosis. •The black arrows points to the normal synovial lining. •Notice that the synovium is lined by a single layer of barely visible cells overlying fibro-fatty tissue. •Synovial chondromatoses arise as papillary lesions attached to the synovium,as indicated by the downward pointing black arrow. •The lesion is composed of a fibrovascular growth, at the center of which is a calcified focus. •The calcified area is indicated by the four green arrows. •The reason for the blue color is the calcium deposition inside this lesion.
