XXXX of the @entity1348 : Case report and review of the literature.

@entity1 @entity1362 @entity1348
BACKGROUND: We present a case of a 51-year-old male @entity1 with @entity1362 (PVNS) of the left @entity1348 (TMJ) that initially presented as a slow-growing left facial mass. Upon further workup, a contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrated an expansile soft tissue mass in the left TMJ. METHODS: The lesion was diagnosed through fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The @entity1 was treated with resection of the TMJ, temporal bone, and root of the zygoma. A temporalis muscle and temporoparietal fascia flap was used for reconstruction to fill the defect and provide contour. RESULTS: Postoperatively, the @entity1 has been tumor free with excellent cosmesis. Our case demonstrates a very successful outcome. CONCLUSION: Previous literature has also reported that complete excision is an ideal procedure for PVNS of TMJ, but temporalis rotational flap use has been rare. This case and previously reported cases in the literature are also reviewed.    2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2015.
