“…As mentioned above, when dealing with isolated osteochondromas and not congenital osteochondromatosis (autosomal dominant gene), the mandible is rarelyreported as a region for this lesion (11,12) . The locations of osteochondromas in the mandible are the condylar head and the coronoid process (being the areas of cartilaginous development, as previously mentioned) in the vast majority of cases, with few isolated cases involving other parts of the mandible, such as the ramus and body.…”

Aim of the study: The aim of the present paper is to determine the diagnostic features of the rare presentation of osteochondroma in the mandible. The unusual aspect in this case is that the diagnosis was not established with cone beam computer tomography, which is a commonly used radiographic technique in dentistry, but with the use of ultrasonography. Case description: Ultrasonography is very useful for initial examinations, avoiding patient exposure to additional radiation and setting the diagnosis in debatable soft tissue involvement of various lesions. In the presented case, even though the clinical presentation was indicative, the cone beam computer tomography evaluation could not confirm the diagnosis, so the final diagnosis was made by ultrasonography. Conclusions: With the latest advances in the applications of ultrasonography in the maxillofacial region, an examination of lesions on the floor of the mouth or in the neck area may set the diagnosis in cases where hard tissue imaging does not provide enough information.

“…Surgical tumor excision is used to remove only abnormal tumors which exist in the condylar head and includes the preauricular approach, the posterior medial approach, and tumor excision performed by following the articular arch19. In the case of removal of tumors using surgical tumor excision, Vezeau et al17 reported as follows: If a tumor is located in the anterior medial part of the condylar head, some part of the tumor may remain in the form of a spur, but a satisfactory result my be obtained after pursuit and observation of it for a long time.…”

Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of the axial skeleton, especially in the distal metaphysis of the femur and the proximal metaphysis of the tibia, that can occur on the facial skeleton (albeit rarely). Osteochondroma is differentiated from chondroma, osteochondromatosis and osteoma. Osteochondroma shows an irregular radiopaque lesion and chondromatic area surrounded by the osteoma. When it develops in the long bone, it has a marked tendency to occur at 10 to 20 years of age and ceases with the end of pubertal growth. However, when it develops in the mandibular condyle, it is prevalent in the third decade and continuous to develop. Tumors that develop in the long bone have a predilection for men, but tumors in the mandible have a predilection for women. In osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle, clinical features presented include occlusal changes, facial asymmetry, headaches, pain and joint noise on the temporomandibular joint, mouth opening limitations, and jaw deviation at the involved site. The first choice of treatment for the massive osteochondroma is surgical removal. A 70-year-old female patient with an osteochondroma on her right mandibular condyle visited our clinic. We surgically removed the mass with favorable results. It is presented here along with a review of literature on osteochondroma.
