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. 
Treatment of tophaceous pseudogout in the temporomandibular joint with resection and alloplastic reconstruction: a single-staged approach
TLDR
Important considerations for diagnosis, biopsy, and surgical treatment with emphasis on reconstruction for tophaceous pseudogout of the TMJ have been highlighted by the authors.
Treatment of calcium pyrophosphate deposition in the temporomandibular joint with resection and simultaneous reconstruction using a custom joint prosthesis
TLDR
A rare case of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), successfully treated with complete resection and immediate reconstruction using a custom-made prosthesis and virtual planning is presented.

Calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate deposition (CPDD) disease very rarely affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It may resemble synovial chondromatosis, chondrosarcoma, chondroblastoma, or a parotid
Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease of the temporomandibular joint invading the middle cranial fossa: Two case reports
TLDR
Tophaceous pseudogout should be considered when there is a calcified mass in the TMJ with or without bone destruction, and surgical treatment is currently the recommended treatment, and the prognosis is good after surgery.
Case report: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition of the temporomandibular joint diagnosed by fine‐needle aspiration cytology
TLDR
A case of an 89 years old woman with a radiological diagnosis of chondrosarcoma of TMJ, fine‐needle aspiration cytology showed crystals, multinucleated giant cells and macrophages which allowed a correct diagnosis of CPDD.
