Synovial cyst of the XXXX : a case report and literature review.

@entity1 @entity4 @entity12897 @entity1348
@entity12897 are lesions that usually occur on the wrist, foot and knee. They are rarely involved in the region of the @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ), with only 10 cases reported from 1978 to 2007. The authors report a case of a @entity12897 of the @entity1348 in a 45-year-old @entity1 . The @entity1 presented with a right @entity4 , 1cm anterior to the tragus. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a small oval hypodense mass of soft tissue in the right temporomandibular region with no relation to the condyle. Fine needle aspiration reported a @entity12897 of the @entity1348 . The @entity1 was taken to the operating room and a preauricular approach extending to the temporal region was carried out resulting in surgical excision of the mass. The histological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of a @entity12897 . The long term clinical and radiological follow-up (after 18 months) showed no sign of recurrence. The authors suggest, in accordance with the literature, that a surgical approach should be the treatment of choice in the case of a @entity12897 of the @entity1348 .
