Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is characterised by slow progressive growth of the different parts of mandible, the aetiology of which is still unclear. It is a self-limiting condition mostly seen between the age of 11-30 years causing facial asymmetry and its progression ceases after a certain time. In literature until now very few cases have been reported and every case that is being reported adds to its features or the aetiology. Previously, it has been classified into two types that is, hemimandibular hyperplasia and hemimandibular elongation. Here, we report a similar case with a few features distinct from those reported earlier.
单侧髁突增生的特征是下颌骨不同部位的缓慢进行性生长，其病因尚不清楚。这是一种自限性疾病，多见于11至30岁之间，可导致面部不对称，且在一定时间后其进展会停止。到目前为止，文献中报道的病例很少，每一个报道的病例都增加了其特征或病因方面的内容。以前，它被分为两种类型，即半侧下颌骨增生和半侧下颌骨延长。在此，我们报告一例具有一些与先前报道不同特征的类似病例。
