Introduction And Importance:
Andy Gump deformity, rarely associated with benign jaw tumors, is characterized by an almost absent lower lip and chin. It is mainly linked to malignant jaw tumors or trauma.
Case Presentation:
In this case report, we present a 24-year-old female presenting with an Andy Gump deformity as a sequelae from a benign jaw tumor.
Clinical Discussion:
The association of a late clinical presentation and an aggressive benign jaw tumor led to the benign jaw tumor sequela.
Conclusion:
Early diagnosis of benign jaw tumors will lead to early and better management, and hence, fewer sequelae, especially in resource-limited settings.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:27Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
01:17Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...
01:27Fractures: 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 procedure...
