Abstract

This study is a retrospective review of the records of all cases treated in the authors' department since 1991 to identify patients with condylar masses diagnosed as osteochondromas. In 2186 cases of benign and malignant cysts/tumours of the maxillofacial region (1560 malignant and 626 benign), 8 osteochondromas of the mandibular condyle were identified. These 8 cases and the current English literature are reviewed.
