Abstract
Masseter muscle hypertrophy can be defined as a rare, asymptomatic, atypical amplification of the masseter muscle, moreover in a unilateral or bilateral pattern which is manifested in the form of an intensified muscle mass. The treatment of the hypertrophy may or may not be of importance and just removal/correction of the etiological trigger factor responsible for it. Appropriate diagnosis and management of the disease process should be the part of the teaching curriculum and should be taught as the basic part of the diagnosis. Herein, we are reporting a case report of a patient who was diagnosed with masseter muscle hypertrophy.
