Abstract

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography neck showed evidence of a contrast-enhancing soft tissue mass measuring 17 × 15 × 12 mm seen along lateral and anterior aspect of left mandibular neck [Figure 1]a. Bone and joint space appeared unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of face with left TMJ showed a lesion along the condylar process of left mandible measuring approximately 19 × 12 mm, compressing the left parotid gland, showing signal intensity similar to the bone [Figure 1]b. Mild synovial thickening was seen. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis and revealed synovial tissue with neoplasm comprising numerous multinucleated giant cells scattered among mononuclear cells and having similar nuclear and cytoplasmic details [Figure 2]d. Hemosiderin deposition was noted within the stroma and within histiocytic mononuclear cells.
