“…6 The differential diagnosis includes osteoma, osteoblastoma, osteochondroma, condylar hyperplasia, chondroma, chondroblastoma, chondromatosis, chondrosarcoma and osteosarcoma. 7 Amongst the above entities, the possibility of osteochondroma must be closely considered as differential diagnosis in this region. Chondroma is a benign tumour characterised by the formation of mature hyaline cartilage.…”

“…Microscopically, benign chondroma may be difficult to distinguish from low grade chondrosarcoma. 7 A closer look into increased cellularity, numerous binucleate cells, mitotic figures and plump chondrocytes with prominent chromatin and nucleoli favours the diagnosis of malignant transformation. 7 The chondroma may rarely develop in maxilla and mandible because of vestigial cartilaginous rests.…”

“…If reconstruction is required, it is usually done with autogenous costochondral graft or an alloplast. 7 We did not do condylar reconstruction due to adequate ramus height and proper positioning of the reshaped condyle in the condylar fossa.…”

<p>Chondroma is a benign tumour of mature hyaline cartilage.It is common in the tubular bones the hands and feetand conspicuous by its rarity in the mandible. We hereby present an interesting case of chondroma of the mandibular condyle that was managed in our department. The antecedent radiological findings and postoperative histopathological peculiarities of the case are discussed. This case also focuses the negligent attitude of our society towards one’s health problems until they are fraught with beliefs of cancer. Chondroma of the mandibular is a rare, benign slow growing tumour. Condylectomy is considered adequate treatment for all condylar masses. Surrounding margins of healthy soft tissue is also excised to prevent recurrences. </p>
