title: Osteochondroma of the glenoid fossa--a case report.
abstract: Osteochondroma of the facial skeleton is a rare tumour that is usually managed by maxillofacial surgeons. In countries where this service is not available, or is provided by inexperienced surgeons, the management is difficult. We describe a case of osteochondroma of the glenoid fossa that was managed by surgeons with experience in temporomandibular surgery.
