| Summary: | Osteochondroma (OC) is one of the most common benign condylar tumours having both chondroma and osteoma. However, this tumour
is most frequently found on the metaphyses of long bones and is unusual on the skull. When it affects the mandibular condyle, the cause
could be due to trauma to the tempero mandibular joint (TMJ). Here, in this report we present a rare case of osteochondroma of left
condyle region in a 36-year-old man. The patient had noticed pain in the left TMJ for six months. The lesion is surgically removed and
histologically evaluated which composed of chondrocytes dispersed in hyaline matrix along with a rim of calcified bone at one end. |
