Abstract
Villonodular synovitis, also called pigmented villonodular synovitis, is the benign lesion with the characteristic of locally aggressive proliferation of mononuclear histiocyte and giant cell. Typically it involves single joint, especially about 80% of disease occurs in the knee joint. Villonodular synovitis of the temporomandibular joint is very rare disease. Differential diagnosis includes synovial chondromatosis and tumors of the temporomandibular joint. Optimal treatment consists of complete excision of the mass and removal of the synovium including adjacent affected bony structures. This is a case report of villonodular synovitis developed in the temporomandibular joint.
