Tophaceous pseudogout of the temporomandibular joint: a series of 3 cases

Tophaceous pseudogout is a rare benign arthropathy that presents with clinical and radiographic features mimicking neoplastic conditions of the TMJ. Therefore, it is recommended that tophaceous pseudogout be considered in the differential diagnosis when a TMJ is involved with “neoplasm-like” lesions clinically and radiographically.
