초록
Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of the axial skeleton, especially the distal metaphysis of the femur and the proximal metaphysis of the tibia, however, is occurred rarely on the facial skeleton. Development of the tumor is most frequently seen in the second or third decades of life. Typically, it arises directly from the cortex of the underlying bone, without any intervening zone of abnormal osseous tissue, and is covered by a cap composed of cartilage undergoing calcification. In case of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle, its clinical features are occulusal change, facial asymmetry, headache, pain and click on temporomandibular joint, mouth opening limitation, and jaw deviation to involved site. This is a case report of a 13-year old woman who had mouth opening limitation and severe temporomandibular joint pain. We obtained successful results with surgical removal of the osteochondroma on the mandibular condyle.
