Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Temporomandibular Joint

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the temporomandibular joint: Case report and review of the literature

“…Our experience has shown that both the TPF flap and temporalis flap are very good reconstructive options that give a great cosmetic and functional result. Because of the infiltrative nature of this lesion, these patients must be followed up with CT or MRI for 7 to 10 years after resection . Detailed interpretation of imaging findings and infiltration of lesions are crucial for determining the appropriate treatment course.…”

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of the temporomandibular joint with intracranial extension: a case and literature review

“…An extensive review of the literature produced 26 previously reported cases of PVNS found within the TMJ 1-3,7-10,12, [14][15][16][17][20][21][22]25,[28][29][30][31][32][33][35][36][37] ( Table 1). The most common presenting symptom was a preauricular mass or swelling, which occurred in 92% (24 of 26) of cases.…”

“…26 The first documentation of PVNS in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was reported in 1973 by Lapayowker et al, who reported two cases 22 . To date, 26 cases of PVNS affecting the TMJ have been reported in the English literature [1][2][3][7][8][9][10]12,[14][15][16][17]20,21,25,[28][29][30][31][32][33][35][36][37][38] (Table 1).…”

Arthroscopic management of intra-articular pigmented villonodular synovitis of temporomandibular joint

“…It has been reported that most of the reported cases of PVNS of the TMJ belong to the extra-articular variant, which is associated with a more aggressive local infiltrative behaviour and higher rate of local recurrence than the localized type 6,7,11,20 . The lesions in the present patients were all localized within the joint.…”
