Myxomas are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, which consist of many undifferentiated stellate and spindle-shaped cells in abundant loose myxoid stroma with collagen fibers. A 74-year-old patient presented in our oral and maxillofacial department with a slow growing mass within the upper lip. The mass was surgically excised in the toto, followed by a histological and immunohistochemical examination. The findings revealed that it was a myxoma. These tumors are very rare and should be included in the differential diagnosis of damage of the upper lip. As long as the myxoma is properly removed, there is no risk of recurrence.

“…Regular treatment for the juxta-articular myxoma is radical surgical removal [14]. In case of the TMJ this may be quite complicated due to the confined space and the proximity to the facial nerve [14]. Transzygomatical, transcondylar or transcoronoid approaches with temporary osteotomy of occluding bones are common methods for procedures at the temporomandibular joint and allow controlled though still narrow accessible space.…”

Introduction: Juxta-articular myxoma ( JAM) is a rare benign myxoid lesion that arises predominantly in the vicinity of large joints (hence the name) with the knee joint followed much less frequently by shoulder, elbow, hip and ankle joints being the main sites affected. Involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by JAM is exceptionally rare making this entity not well-known by oro-maxillofacial surgeons. We present a case of JAM located at the TMJ and gives a systematic review of the literature on this topic. Methods: A systematic search for "juxta-articular myxoma" " +"TMJ", "mandible" and temporomandibular" in English/French/German literature in PubMed, Medline, WebOfScience, OpenGrey and GoogleScholar was performed. The retrieved papers were then analyzed for the anatomical region, diagnostics, treatment, follow-up time and potential recurrence.Results: JAM mainly occurs at the knee, shoulder or the elbow, other locations are rare. Main diagnostic imaging for JAM is MRI-scan. Excision of the lesion is standard therapy. Local recurrence is reported in 23% for an average follow-up of 38 months. Involvement of the TMJ was reported in 1% of total cases. Conclusion:JAM is a rare benign tumor with local aggressive features. Occurrence at the mandible is quite rare. Due to the confined anatomical region of the TMJ complete removal may be difficult, a distinctive approach should be planned to guarantee optimal access. This fact and a high recurrence rate imply the need of a close follow-up.

“…There are reported cases involving myxomas of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hip. To our knowledge, however, there is just one reported cases of juxta-articular myxomas of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) [111]. The juxta-articular myxoma resembles the common myxoma, however, it is distinguished by its association with the underlying connective tissue components of the joint.…”

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) forms a complex functional system with teeth, bones, connected muscles and ligaments. Any discomfort in any of these structures directly affects the joint. The complaints are mostly pain, malocclusion and swelling.Temporomandibular joint tumors are very uncommon but show symptoms similar to intra-articular disorders that make up most of these disorders. The most common TMJspecific benign tumors are classified after a brief literature review. Our classification also includes the osteoma of the TMJ, other than World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of soft tissue and bone tumors. This benign tumor was also included in the classification because of its higher frequency in the literature. The treatment of these neoplasms may be conservative or radical surgery.
