   Introduction
 
Cubital bursitis at the insertion of the biceps tendon is uncommon4. A number of etiological factors of bursitis have been identified, including direct trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, crystal deposition disease, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and infection8. We report on a patient who had cubital bursitis due to synovial chondromatosis localized at the annular periradial recess that encircles the radial neck of the elbow joint. To our knowledge, this is the first such report in the literature.


   Case Report
 
A twenty-eight-year-old man was referred to our institution for evaluation of a mass that had been present for ten months in the right antecubital fossa. The patient reported no history of trauma and was in good general health.

On examination, a cystic mass, measuring approximately three by five centimeters, was identified in the antecubital fossa. When compared with the contralateral elbow, the right elbow lacked 10 degrees of full active extension and 10 degrees . . . [Full Text of this Article]
