Abstract
Myxoma of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare and may cause signs and symptoms like those seen in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfuncti on (TMD). The histogenesis, histologic profile, and management of myxoma of the jaws remain controversial. We report a case of myxoma involving the ma ndibular condyle appearing as TMD, and we review the literature to highligh t current controversies surrounding this lesion.
