ABSTRACT

Introduction: Osteoma is a benign neoplasm resulting from the continuous formation of cortical or cancellous bone. Osteomas of the maxillofacial region mostly occur in the mandible. However, rarely osteomas seen in the mandibular condyle.
Case Report: We present a case of a 33-year-old male patient reported with chief complaints of malocclusion, facial asymmetry, difficulty in chewing and deviation of jaw since two years also during childhood he had a history of trauma. Radiographic images and computed tomography suggested benign osteogenic neoplastic lesion involving right condyle which on histopathological examination confirmed it is osteoma.
Conclusion: Osteoma should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in a patient with malocclusion, facial asymmetry, deviation of jaw and difficulty in chewing, especially in a patient with the previous history of trauma.

Keywords: Facial asymmetry, Malocclusion, Mandibular condyle, Osteoma
