    Abstract:
    Diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TSGCT) is a benign but locally destructive tumor of synovium that may involve joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. Its occurrence in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is extremely rare. The authors reported a case of 48-year-old man with an extra-articular D-TSGCT in the TMJ with medial cranial fossa extension. computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features are described. The lesion was a cystic-solid mass centered at the temporal bone without involvement of the condylar head, and its solid component presented high-density on CT and hypointensity on MRI. No signs of recurrence or metastasis was observed during 12-months of follow-up. The present report suggested the potential characteristics of radiologic imaging of D-TSGCT in TMJ.
