We describe a case of a ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and review the literature of this rare entity. Because of the rarity of such cysts in the TMJ, an accurate diagnosis is not usually made preoperatively. Treatment is surgical but, if a diagnosis can be made, a period of conservative management is justified.
我们描述了一例颞下颌关节（TMJ）腱鞘囊肿的病例，并回顾了关于这一罕见病症的文献。由于颞下颌关节处此类囊肿较为罕见，术前通常无法做出准确诊断。治疗方式为手术，但如果能够做出诊断，一段时间的保守治疗也是合理的。
