A double patella-like condition secondary to synovial osteochondromatosisKeywords: Osteochondromatosis , Synovial osteochondromatosis , Chondromatosis , Double patella , Knee Abstract: To our knowledge, this is the first case of synovial osteochondromatosis in a patient presenting with a double patella-like condition. The true duplication of the patella, which is called double patella, is extremely rare. In our case, the operative and histopathological findings showed that the double patella-like condition was secondarily induced by synovial osteochondromatosis. Synovial osteochondromatosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis for congenital double patella.
