Abstract

Facial asymmetry and pain in preauricular region are rare complaints encountered in our practice and in such cases proper examination are important. Osteochondroma (OC) of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare, benign tumour of the jaw which leads to facial asymmetry, malocclusion and restricted
mouth opening. Pain is not a frequent complaint but some patients can experience pain in cases of OC. Proper examination and radiographic techniques help in attaining a diagnosis. Final diagnosis is by histopatholgical examination and Treatment of choice is surgical excision. Here we are reporting a case of OC where history, clinical and radiographic examination helped in diagnosing the lesion.

Keywords: Osteochondroma, Facial asymmetry, Benign tumour of TMJ.
