We report a case of a chondroma in the anterior part of the ear. One year prior to his visit, a 53-year-old man became aware of swelling in the right cheek region which gradually increased in size. In the anterior part of the right ear, there was a palpable 25 mm tumor, elastic and hard, with poor mobility and without tenderness. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography CT showed a mass lesion with diffuse calcification or ossification in the upper pole of the parotid gland and areas of poor contrast within. A magnetic resonance imaging showed a low-signal mass lesion at the parotid gland with some high signals in both T1 and T2. Fine-needle aspiration cytology did not lead to diagnosis. Using a nerve monitoring system, the tumor was resected with normal tissue of the upper pole of the parotid gland in the same way as for a benign parotid tumor. Distinguishing between pleomorphic adenoma, including diffuse microcalcification of the parotid gland and cartilaginous tumors of the temporomandibular joint, may be sometimes difficult. In such cases, surgical resection may be a beneficial treatment option.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59050842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T02:50:00Z","timestamp":1682563800000},"page":"842","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chondroma Arising from the Temporomandibular Joint: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Masayoshi","family":"Hijiya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"},{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjocho, Tanabe 646-8858, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masamitsu","family":"Kono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katsuya","family":"Okuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shunji","family":"Tamagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takuro","family":"Iyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"},{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Kinan Hospital, 46-70 Shinjocho, Tanabe 646-8858, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Kinoshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideki","family":"Sakatani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masanobu","family":"Hiraoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fumiyoshi","family":"Kojima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Pathology, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shin-Ichi","family":"Murata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Pathology, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muneki","family":"Hotomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, 811-1 Kimiidera, Wakayama 641-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"666","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-198509000-00006","article-title":"Periosteal chondroma and periosteal chondrosarcoma","volume":"9","author":"Nojima","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am.
