title: MRI in a case of osteosarcoma in the temporomandibular joint.
abstract: Osteosarcoma of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare. We report a case of osteosarcoma in the TMJ of a 62-year-old female, pre-operatively diagnosed to have a benign tumour, and discuss the usefulness and limits of MRI using a TMJ coil as a diagnosis.
