Abstract:
Exostosis is a benign bony process arising from cortical bone. It is generally localized at the fertile metaphysis of long and some flat bones. Localization to the zygoma and/or the coronoid process is exceptional (5 cases in the world literature). We report an original case of exostosis with isolated zygomatic localization in a 14-year-old girl and review the literature. We emphasize the clinical features and the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this condition.
