Condylar Osteochondroma: A Rare Case Report

We report a case of 40-year-old male patient complaining of reduced mouth opening since last 10 years. Clinical examination revealed gross facial asymmetry, hard swelling over right TMJ, jaw deviation towards left side, restricted mouth opening of 3 mm and deranged occl usion. An irregular radiopaque mass was seen over the right condylar region in OPG. A large, hyperdense mass that obliterated the sigmoid notch and extended medially to the right condyle was visible on CT scans. Using a pre-auricular Alkayat-Bramley technique, the mass was surgically removed. Occlus al corrections and jaw physiotherapy were then administered. On follow up, deviation was corrected and adequate mouth opening was achieved.
