Popis: Chondroblastoma is a rare and benign bone tumor that can occur in the craniofacial region. It may be difficult to diagnose using imaging alone; histological analyses and even immunohistochemical analyses are often required. This article reports on a rare case of chondroblastoma of the temporomandibular joint. Its diagnosis was hindered by its similarity to other tumors in both imaging exams and histological analyses. It was definitively treated through the total excision of the tumor. Keywords: Chondroblastoma, Temporomandibular joint, Immunohistochemical analyses
