下颌髁突骨软骨瘤:病例报告

Abstract

Osteochondroma is a benign bone tumor commonly found in long bones but is relatively rare in the facial skeleton, specifically the jaws. Osteochondroma in the jaws presents diagnostic challenges due to its unique location and potential involvement of dental and oral structures. Differential diagnoses include ossifying fibroma, ameloblastoma, and odontogenic tumors. Accurate diagnosis thorough clinical assessment and appropriate imaging and histopathological examination is crucial. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment, providing symptomatic relief, functional restoration, and prevention of complications. We present two cases of left condylar osteochondroma in female patients reported with pain and limited mouth opening with deranged occlusion. Increased awareness of osteochondroma in the jaws is essential for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Understanding its clinical characteristics, diagnostic evaluation, and management aids in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
