Suppurative arthritis of the temporomandibular joint is comparatively rare because temporomandibular joint is strong anatomical structures in infection defense. We report a rare case of acute suppurative arthritis of the temporomandibular joint of a 76-year-old woman. Further, we reviewed the literature on acute suppurative arthritis of the temporomandibular joint of 29 cases of this disease in Japan.
