“…CT and MRI 16,17,23 are the most helpful tools for diagnosis and allow determination of the cyst limits and its relation to the parotid. The diagnoses of synovial cysts and ganglion are often used interchangeably, but these are two different lesions 3, 18 . Synovial cysts contain synovial uid, are lined by an endothelium containing synoviocytes, and may or may not communicate with the joint cavity.…”

“…Synovial cysts seem to develop with increases in intra-articular pressure 3 due to trauma 12, 15, 18 , in ammation 24 , which causes capsular herniation, or displacement of synovial tissue during embryogenesis 18 . On the other hand, ganglion cysts develop by myxoid degeneration and cystic softening of the joint capsule 3 .…”

“…They are divided into two types according to their presentation : those with walls that consist of fibrous connective tissue ganglion and those with walls that are lined by synovial cells synovial cysts [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . Both ganglions and synovial cysts [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] develop in the TMJ, although they are rare at this site. Females are more likely to develop a TMJ cyst,…”

: We report a case of cystic lesion in a 23-year-old female, consisting of an oval-shaped lesion adjacent to the temporomandibular joint TMJ . She presented with a Class malocclusion with facial asymmetry and tenderness to palpation on the right TMJ. The patient was treated conservatively with a splint for the TMJ-associated cyst and combined surgical-orthodontic treatment for the facial asymmetry. The post-treatment course was uneventful. The authors recommend a conservative approach as one of the treatment options for TMJ cyst.

“…Synovial cyst and ganglion of TMJ are sometimes confused with parotid gland lesions (2,5,7,11,12 ) . A preoperative biopsy in the present case also showed normal parotid gland , and so histological examination of the correctly excised specimens is mandatory for confirmed diagnosis.…”

“…Unconnected with the joint cavity, this cyst arises from the capsule of the joint. The cyst is filled with a gelatinous material and lined with a fibrous connective tissue wall without cells [2]. We present important aspects of the clinical findings, histologic features, and therapeutic options of a rare case of a ganglion cyst of TMJ with a review of the previous articles.…”
