Abstract

Osteochondroma is a benign tumor rarely localized in the maxilla. We present a 29-year-old asymptomatic male patient with an osteochondroma extending downward and posteriorly from the left maxillary tubercle, causing morphological changes at the anterior border of the left mandibular ramus. What distinguishes this case from similar cases is that it causes a condition similar to Jacob's disease in the opposite direction. The case was analyzed in terms of radiological features.

Özet

Osteokondroma, maksillada nadiren lokalize olan benign bir tümördür. Sol maksiller tüberkülden aşağıya ve posteriora doğru uzanan ve sol mandibular ramusun ön sınırında morfolojik değişikliklere neden olan osteokondromu olan 29 yaşında asemptomatik bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Bu vakayı benzer vakalardan ayıran özellik, ters yönde Jacob hastalığına benzer bir duruma neden olmasıdır. Vaka, radyolojik özellikler açısından analiz edildi.
