Background: Pseudogout of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disorder with <40 reported cases in the English-language literature. It is usually treated with surgical resection and condylectomy alone.
Methods: We report the case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with a preauricular mass resulting from calcium pyrophosphate deposition (pseudogout) in the TMJ, who underwent surgical resection with immediate reconstruction.
