Transoral resection of a condylar osteochondroma: report of case.
A rare case of osteochondroma (osteocartilaginous exostosis) of the mandibular condyle is described; this represents the seventh documented case in the English language literature. Treatment consisted of transoral surgical resection which maintained condylar integrity. No maxillomandibular fixation was placed and the patient's mandibular function was undisturbed. Postoperatively, mandibular deviation was minimal.
