title: Unilateral temporal muscle hypertrophy: a rare clinical entity.
abstract: Isolated unilateral temporal muscle hypertrophy is a rarely reported clinical entity with an unclear etiology. Consideration of a broad differential diagnosis combined with a detailed histologic and radiologic work-up will help the physician diagnose the underlying pathology. We report a new case of this uncommon entity, and we review the pertinent literature.
