Beschreibung:
  • In the current case, a 31-year-old patient who presented with a painful unilateral malocclusion and an unclear mass in the region of the right temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is reported. The malocclusion had been noticed by the patient a few months earlier. Chewing on the right side had become severely impaired and painful. The patient had no history of trauma to the TMJ. Plain radiographs and computed-tomographic scans depicted an enlarged and deformed mandibular condyle. A condylectomy was performed. The histological investigation of the specimen revealed an osteochondroma. The tumour did not express insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor. Five years following the surgical intervention, there has been no local recurrence and dental occlusion was re-established, without further treatment.
