Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle: report of a case and review of the literature.
Osteochondromas rarely affect the mandibular condyle. An unusual case of an osteochondroma occurring in the left mandibular condyle in a 40-year-old man who presented with mandibular deviation and malocclusion is reported; this represents the 37th documented case in the English-language literature. The tumor was resected through condylectomy. Four-year follow-up assessments revealed satisfactory function and occlusion, without evidence of recurrence of the tumor.
