title: [Clinical aspects and pathology of tumors of the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: Two primary tumors of the temporo-mandibular joint are presented. Because of their unspecific clinical symptoms, the diagnosis could be confirmed by surgical intervention and histopathology only after a long period of observation. Benign temporo-mandibular joint tumors can still be managed, while in malignant tumors the further course of the disease is characterized by a poor prognosis.
