case_images: Initial plain radiographs of the elbow demonstrated no abnormalities (Figure 1).

case_images: Plain radiographs and MR scan (Figures 2 and 3) corroborated the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis; it also showed that the ulnar nerve was markedly displaced and compressed by the lesion at the level of olecranon fossa, however the cubital tunnel was normal.
case_images: (a&b) MR coronal and (c) axial images showed well defined mass above the medial epicondyle with ulnar nerve compression (arrowed).

case_images: Plain radiographs and MR scan (Figures 2 and 3) corroborated the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis; it also showed that the ulnar nerve was markedly displaced and compressed by the lesion at the level of olecranon fossa, however the cubital tunnel was normal.
case_images: The lesion in situ at operation with the ulnar nerve visible was overlying the mass.
