Objectives: In this paper we present a case report of an homotransplantation of a complete temporomandibular joint (TMJ) together with a portion of the medial skull base and mandibular ramus folded with an ante-brachial fascioperiosteal free flap as secondary reconstruction after nearly five years from the removal of a sarcoma of the temporomandibular joint involving the skull base and a follow up of more than 60 months.
