Abstract

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign reactive process of the synovial tissue, that usually involves the knee or other major joints. Reports of this entity in the temporomandibular joint are rare. The authors describe a case involving this joint, initially clinically diagnosed as a parotid tumour.
