Correlation between single photon emission computed tomography and histopathologic findings in condylar hyperplasia of the temporomandibular joint.

Purpose: To analyse the correlation between the level of activity measured in the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and the pathological findings in patients with condylar hyperplasia (CH).

Materials And Methods: All patients evaluated in our department between 2007 and 2014 with a diagnosis of condylar hyperplasia who had undergone SPECT, evidenced signs of activity, and had undergone surgery were included. We included 28 patients, of whom 20 were women and 8 men.
