Purpose: Osteochondroma is a benign tumor, which is usually rare in the mandibular region, especially around the condyle.The secondary progressive malocclusion and facial asymmetry are common physical signs in most cases.The traditional surgical treatment for osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle has been condylectomy with or without condylar reconstruction.We opine that in addition to removal of the tumor, attention should also be paid towards restoring the joint function, improving facial appearance and correcting secondary malocclusion.
