Belgium In the human and equine species different kinds of free floating intra-articular particles are related to certain disorders. Osteochondral fragments formed during osteochondrosis dissecans are the most common finding in the equine species whereas in humans rice bodies due to rheumatoid arthritis are more frequent. Herein we report a thứd type of floating body inside the stifle of an adult draught horse stallion in macroscopic appearance similar to articular rice bodies known in humans. As revealed by histologic examination the two particles consist of polypoid degenerated structures derived from synovial villi. Theứ formation was probably induced by ischemia. Key words joint rice body draught horse synovium histology Generally spoken three different intra-articular nodules exist. Galvez et al. 4 observed that in humans most of the rice bodies developing in association with rheumatoid synovial fluid sediments were composed of partially or completely hyalinized fibrinous material with macrophages. The microscopic rice bodies sometimes expressed a central fibrosis. The authors believe that these intra-articular floating particles derived from cells entrapped within a fibrin network during synovitis. In some rice bodies neutrophils and to a lesser extent mononuclear cells were identified 4 Mononuclear cells where predominant in other although typically .
