A case of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ganglion is described, and 4 previously reported cases are noted. In all cases, initial diagnosis of parotid neoplasm proved incorrect at surgical exploration. Management of all cases consisted of identification of the facial nerve and excision of the ganglion with a cuff of TMJ capsule. The diagnosis of TMJ ganglion should be entertained when a presumed parotid neoplasm changes in size or position with jaw movement.
本文描述了一例颞下颌关节（TMJ）神经节病例，并提及4例先前报道的病例。在所有病例中，术前诊断为腮腺肿瘤，手术探查后证实诊断错误。所有病例的治疗方法均包括识别面神经，并连带颞下颌关节囊的一部分切除神经节。当推测的腮腺肿瘤大小或位置随下颌运动而改变时，应考虑颞下颌关节神经节的诊断。
