Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign soft-tissue lesion that can affect the synovium of joint spaces, bursae, or tendon sheaths. It is a rare condition and even rarer when it originates in the temporomandibular joint. The purpose of this study is to review the literature and report an additional case of pigmented villonodular synovitis arising from the temporomandibular joint and describe the surgical approach involving a Zimmer Biomet custom-fitted total joint prosthesis.
