Osteochondroma is one of the common bone tumours but is rarely seen in the head and neck region. Osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle, extending to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an infrequent occurrence. Patients commonly present with restricted mouth opening and malocclusion. Due to the significant overlap in features between chondromas and condylar hyperplasia, it is very likely to be misdiagnosed, resulting in treatment errors. In this report, an interesting case of a large osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle extending into the zygomatic and petrous part of the temporal bone involving the left TMJ in a 35-year-old female patient is described who presented with facial asymmetry and restricted mouth opening. This paper outlines the clinico-radiographic and histopathological features for diagnosis and appropriate treatment of osteochondroma.
骨软骨瘤是常见的骨肿瘤之一，但在头颈部区域很少见。下颌髁突骨软骨瘤延伸至颞下颌关节（TMJ）的情况并不常见。患者通常表现为张口受限和错牙合。由于软骨瘤和髁突增生的特征有很大重叠，很容易被误诊，从而导致治疗失误。在本报告中，描述了一例有趣的病例，一名35岁女性患者，其左下颌髁突的巨大骨软骨瘤延伸至颞骨的颧骨和岩部，累及颞下颌关节，表现为面部不对称和张口受限。本文概述了骨软骨瘤诊断及适当治疗的临床影像学和组织病理学特征。
