Abstract

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is an overgrowth disorder of the temporomandibular joint bones caused by growth center overactivity of the mandibular condyle. Although the disorder is mostly idiopathic, several etiologies have been proposed. CH presents as progressive facial asymmetry with functional abnormalities. A combination of clinical, histopathological, and radiological findings is crucial to determine the diagnosis. Several diagnostic algorithms have been described in the literature. Management of CH is variable and depends on the growth of the bone. Here, we present the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with progressive facial asymmetry which was diagnosed as unilateral CH with active bony overgrowth.
