Osteochondroma is a common cartilage capped benign bone tumor. It usually occurs on the end of the axial long bone but very rare on the craniofacial skeleton, even the mandibular coronoid process. It usually causes open mouth limitation when it occurs on the coronoid process, which is similar to myositis ossificans traumatica, an uncommon disease with bone formation in the muscle which was caused by trauma, and usually causes the misdiagnosis. The epiphyseal cartilage of the craniofacial bone spread through the defect of the periosteum which was caused by trauma is one of the suspected etiology of the osteochondroma occurs in this region. Here we present a 47-year-old woman with past history of temporomandibular joint disorder who suffer from osteochondroma on the right mandibular coronoid process with mouth opening difficulty and extreme pain at right TMJ area after repeated TMJ surgery-which was diagnosis as myositis ossificans traumatica in the beginning but the final tissue proof was osteochondroma. As well as the surgical procedure, we also present the post-operative outcome and further literatures review.
