Abstract:
Osteoma is a rare, asymptomatic, and slowly growing benign tumor of bone. Upon reviewing the literature, only 21 cases were previously reported in the mandibular condyle. A 19-year-old male patient presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Ain Shams University complaining of hypomobility and facial asymmetry involving the lower jaw. He stated that he was involved in a road traffic accident (RTA) and sustained a traumatic injury to the head a few years ago. Upon examination, it was noticed that the chin deviated to the right side with some discomfort during function. Computed tomography scans revealed the presence of a hyperdense mass medial to the right condylar pole. Condylectomy was carried out using a preauricular approach. A diagnosis of osteoma was confirmed histopathologically. The defect was reconstructed using the coronoid process as an autogenous-free graft.

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...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
