| Sumario: | This study aimed to report six cases of unilateral condylar hyperplasia (CH), regarding their demographic and clinical characteristics and imaging and histopathological findings. Sex, age, affected side, history of the case, complementary examinations and treatment were recorded. Five cases (83.3%) were females and the mean age of the study population was 19.3 years (range: 14-28 years). The right condyle was affected in 4 cases (66.6%). Five (83.3%) patients were subjected to condylotomy, and high condylectomy was done in 1 (16.6%) case. The patients were followed up postoperatively for a mean period of 27.5 months. All patients received surgical and orthodontic treatment. In the present study, CH occurred more frequently in the first decades of life and it was more prevalent in females. The right condyle was more affected than the left one and condylotomy combined with orthodontics was the main treatment performed. |
