Introduction:
Osteochondroma of the coronoid process also known as Jacob's disease, has rarely been reported in the literature and it posses a challenge as diagnosis may be overlooked in favour of other causes of limited mouth opening.
Case Report:
This is a case report of an adult male patient who presented with restricted mouth opening in whom radiological imaging, especially 3D computed tomography, played a role in establishing the diagnosis of Jacob's disease.
Conclusion:
An osteochondroma of the coronoid process of the mandible (Jacob's disease) is a rare cause of restricted mouth opening and its diagnosis can be overlooked in favour of TMJ ankylosis. The CT scan plays an important role in diagnosis and in planning for surgery.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
