The role of inflammation poses a number of interesting facets. Frequently it appears as a mechanism of defense: at other times it appears to present itself as a pathologic situation of unknown etiology. In neither case have the underlying mechanisms been fully identified. A variety of tissues can be involved, but when occurring as a pathology entity, it is more frequently observed in the synovial tissues. As a general rule, inflammation used as a defense mechanism in benign and self- limiting. This is not the case whore it become matter of pathology. It is here where mankind has looked for effective weapons for relief.
