Osteochondroma is considered a benign bone tumor that occurs mainly in axial skeleton, but rarely affecting maxillofacial complex. When located in this region, it has a preference for the mandible. It usually occurs in the age range between 10 and 30 years. In the mandibular condyle, may cause dentofacial deformities, resulting in limited mouth opening, malocclusion and facial asymmetry. The aim of the present study was to report a case of a 36-year-old female patient referred for treatment of maxillomandibular discrepancy, whose complementary exams showed the presence of osteochondroma in the left mandibular condyle. Due clinical condition, low condilectomy for remove the tumor and recontouring of the remaining mandibular condyle, followed by postoperative orthodontic treatment. The total removal of the lesion associated with joint reconstruction and subsequent orthodontic treatment was effective in restoring the patient's joint function and aesthetics, since there was a significant improvement in facial symmetry. After 3 years, the patient is followed up, without signs of recurrence.
