Background:

Osteochondromas are the most frequent benign bone tumors.
Occasionally, they manifest in the oral cavity, specifically the coronoid process.
Coronoid process osteochondromas can lead to restricted mouth opening and facial asymmetry.

Observation:

A case study of a 26-year-old female patient is presented.
The patient presented with symptoms related to a coronoid process osteochondroma.
Clinical presentation and diagnostic findings were documented.

Findings:

Osteochondroma of the coronoid process was diagnosed.
The tumor's growth contributed to limited mandibular movement.
Surgical excision was performed as the primary treatment modality.

Implications:

Surgical excision is the definitive treatment for coronoid process osteochondromas.
Recurrence of this condition after surgical intervention has not been documented.
This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing oral osteochondromas.
