| Title: | Ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint: a case report |
| Authors: | Sara Ferreira dos Santos Costa Tatiana Fernandes Araújo Almeida Felipe Eduardo Baires Campos Wagner Henriques de Castro Felipe Paiva Fonseca Ricardo Santiago Gomez |
| Abstract: | Ganglion cysts are rarely encountered in the temporoman dibular joint (TMJ). The etiology remains unclear; however, it may arise from the myxoid degeneration of collagenous tissue of the joint capsule after trauma. We report a case of ganglion cyst in a 66-year-old woman. On physical examination, the patient pre sented a well-demarcated, mobile, nodular lesion in the right TMJ region. A computed tomography revealed a degenerative change of the right condyle. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a rounded hypodense mass related to temporomandibular articulation. Local excision was performed, and histologic examination showed a mul tilocular cystic lesion surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue wall without synovial cells. The cells in the lining of the wall were negative for D2-40. Postoperative follow-up revealed no recur rence. The nonspecific clinical presentation and infrequent involvement of ganglion cysts with TMJ make diagnosis a chal lenge. The definitive diagnosis should be made from results of the histologic examination. |
