TLDR
The close proximity of the infratemporal fossa to the intracranial structures, the orbit, the paranasal sinuses, the nasopharynx, and the facial area demands careful planning of surgical excision and combined procedures may be called for.

TLDR
In patients with 1 month or more of recalcitrant TMJ swelling or pain, radiographic imaging may be considered to rule out these rare neoplasms, which are rare but represent a challenging diagnostic problem.
