Osteochondroma of mandibular condyle is a rare benign tumor.Accepted: March 20, 2017Case Report: This case report described clinical, radiographic features, differential diagnosis, histopathologic correlation and treatment of condylar osteochondroma
Clinical features of condylar osteochondroma include facial asymmetry, prognathic deviation, posterior crossbite, condylar morphology changes [2,8], which may resemble those seen in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD)
Summary
Osteochondroma is one of the mostly found axial skeleton benign tumors. It is rarely found in maxillofacial area. Mandibular condyle is most frequently affected [1]. Conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) is an acceptable alternative for the evaluation of mandibular condyle [12]. Treatment of condylar osteochondroma is surgical excision of the lesion with mandibular condyle [1, 9 - 11]. The purpose of this case report was to describe clinical, radiographic features, differential diagnosis, histopathologic correlation and treatment of condylar osteochondroma
