Rice bodies of synovial origin in the knee: a case report

Abstract

Rice bodies are free corpuscles of synovial origin with a cartilage-like appearance and may reach hundreds in number within the intraarticular space. Rheumatologic or infectious lesions that may cause synovial hypertrophy play major role in the etiology. Although this entity is recognized by rheumatologists, it is rarely mentioned in the orthopedic literature. Hundreds of bodies in the form and size of rice bodies were noted in the left intraarticular space of an 11-year-old male patient who underwent diagnostic arthroscopic drainage and partial synovectomy. Pathologic examination showed that some of the bodies consisted only of fibrin, with some having a collagenous nucleus within the fibrin. No evidence of recurrence was found during his orthopedic follow-up of 2.5 years, no underlying rheumatologic pathology was detected, as well.
