Condylar hyperplasia is a rare pathology characterised by excessive bone growth that presents virtually unilaterally, resulting in facial asymmetry. The aetiology of this disorder is not well understood. This pathology has been reported to be a rare entity with very few cases being reported in the literature, mostly seen between 11 and 30 years of age, with males and females being equally affected and having no predominance to the left or right side. It has also been reported to be a self-limiting condition, that is, the active growth can cease at any point in time. We report two cases of unilateral condylar hyperplasia in 24- and 19-year-old male and female patients, where the first was treated by condylectomy and BSSO, and the latter was treated by high condylectomy and recontouring of the mandible.
