A case of localized nodular synovitis of the temporomandibular joint is described and discussed. There are no cases previously reported in the literature. The distinction between synovitis of the villo-nodular type and that of the localized nodular type can be made, given the close collaboration of clinician and pathologist. The recognition of these to clinical entities of nearly similar histomorphological pattern is of great importance, as they differ in clinical course, treatment and prognosis.
本文描述并讨论了一例颞下颌关节局限性结节性滑膜炎病例。文献中此前尚无相关病例报道。鉴于临床医生和病理学家的密切合作,绒毛结节型滑膜炎和局限性结节型滑膜炎之间能够做出区分。认识到这两种组织形态学模式近乎相似的临床实体非常重要,因为它们在临床病程、治疗和预后方面存在差异。
