Vascular malformation of the temporomandibular joint: report of a case and review of the literature

The diagnosis and treatment of vascular anomalies is extremely challenging because of inconsistent terminology and classification systems, as well as nonspecific clinical and radiological findings. We report a vascular malformation that was treated successfully via resection, and reconstructed using a custom-made temporomandibular joint fossa and condylar prosthesis by TMJ Concepts. The available pertinent literature is also reviewed.
