Özet

Hematic cyst refers to accumulation of blood or blood breakdown products in a non epithelium-lined fibrous tissue capsule. Hematic cyst is a term often used for deeply placed, incompletely resorbed hematoma (hemorrhagic cyst), which may remain unchanged and unidentified for long periods of time. Trauma is the major causative factor, although it is often vague or totally unrecalled by the patient. Chronic hematic cysts are uncommon lesions those can present diagnostic challenge. In this article we reported, to our knowledge, the first case of a chronic hematic cyst of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and dynamic MRI application of the lesion. © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
