Abstract
Chondroma of the mandibular condyle is rare and its signs and symptoms can mimic those
of patients with more common disorders of facial asymmetry or dysfunction of the temporomandibular
joint (TMJ). We report a case of chondroma of the mandibular condyle that presented
as temporomandibular pain with malocclusion, and which relapsed 5 years after the
initial treatment. To our knowledge only 7 cases of chondroma of the mandibular condyle
have been reported in the last 70 years. This case is the eighth.
