Summary Background: Chondroblastoma is one of the rare diseases. It often localizes in the epiphysis of the long bones. It is very rare in the flat bones (20 % in men), especially in the facial bones and TMJ. Usually it is found in young people under the age of 20 and its rate in women is 2 times lesser than in men. Its etiology is still unknown. Case report: Patient M.P., a 45 years old male, applied to Clinic with limited mouth opening and swelling on the right periauricular masticatory region.
