“…Literature supports that opening into the lesion and inducing bleeding is sufficient for healing. 6 More recently minimally invasive surgery with endoscopic assisted techniques is employed 8 as opposed to conventional open surgical methods with obvious advantage of evading un-aesthetic facial scars and facial nerve injuries. On the downside, this has steep learning curve and is time consuming which can be overcome by improved training and experience in the field.…”

Radiolucent lesions of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) represent a diagnostic challenge and a treatment conundrum. Biopsy of the lesions is technically difficult owing to their complex anatomy. The Differential Diagnosis (DD) includes a wide array of lesions including Simple Bone Cyst, Ameloblastoma, Central Giant Cell Granuloma, Hemangioma, Osteoblastoma, Osteochondroma, Chondroblastoma, Chondrosarcoma, Neurofibroma and metastatic malignant lesions though none has a specific predilection for TMJ. Here we present a case report of a large expansile radiolucent lesion of right TMJ in a 22 year old male patient with difficulties involved in diagnosis and management. Though cystic lesion of TMJ is uncommon it is incumbent on the Maxillofacial Surgeon for an early diagnosis and prompt management.

“…When cortex of the condyle head is exposed, needle aspiration would be useful to identify contents of the lesion13. If preoperative diagnosis is assumed to be a TBC, an intraoral endoscopic approach as a minimally invasive surgery would be useful for surgical exploration and cosmetic outcome1415. Minimally invasive surgery is recommended to prevent accidental or pathologic condyle fracture after surgery.…”

Traumatic bone cyst (TBC) occurs preferentially on the mandibular symphysis and body, but rarely on the mandibular condyle. When TBC occurs in the condylar area, it can usually be related with or misdiagnosed as a temporomandibular joint disorder. A 15-year-old female patient visited the Temporomandibular Joint Clinic with a 5-year history of pain and noise localized in the left temporomandibular joint. On imaging, a well demarked oval-shaped radiolucent lesion was observed on the left condyle head. The patient underwent cyst enucleation and repositioning of the bony window on the lateral cortex of the affected condyle head under the impression of subchondral cyst or TBC; however, no cystic membrane was found. The bone defect resolved and showed no recurrence on the serial radiographic postoperative follow-up for 43 months after surgery.

“…Treatment should be as minimal as possible. 64 Curettage of the lesion may be necessary in larger lesions with risk of pathologic fracture. In small lesions and in young patients, a wait-and-see approach may be preferred.…”

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Pictorial Review

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are commonly encountered in the general population but often ignored or unrecognized. The detection and characterization of lesions has drastically improved over the years due to technological advances in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, adequate knowledge of the normal imaging appearance on different imaging modalities as well as the broad variety of pathology is required to provide a proper radiologic assessment. This pictorial review focuses on TMJ pathology and its appearance on CBCT and MRI. A short overview of the technical aspects and normal anatomy are provided to round out this complete summary on the subject.
