This is a case report of a 21-year-old man who had a gradually progressive Class III malocclusion and crepitation of the right temporomandibular joint. Routine TMJ tomograms revealed a radiopaque-radiolucent lesion of the right mandibular condyle with a compensatory anteroinferior displacement of the left mandibular condyle. Nuclear bone scans confirmed increased asymmetric technetium 99 tracer uptake in the region of the right temporomandibular joint. A two-stage surgical approach was undertaken; this consisted of excision of the condylar lesion to correct the Class III malocclusion and posterior crossbite and a LeFort I osteotomy to correct the slight transverse maxillary cant and anterior open bite. A histopathologic diagnosis confirmed osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. |
