Condylar resorption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a poorly understood phenomenon that is the subject of much controversy. The following case report depicts a unique case of condylar resorption (CR) in a 49-year-old female patient with essential thrombocythemia who underwent arthrocentesis of the TMJ. The exact cause of the CR is unclear but it is speculated that it was likely due to hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications during surgery secondary to an elevated platelet count.
