Abstract :
- A rather uncommon pathologic disease in
adolescents is masseter muscle unilateral hypertrophy..
Its origin is unknown and because it needs to be
distinguished from other masseter-related disorders, it
calls for a high level of suspicion. We describe a rare
instance of unilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy in a
13-year-old female patient with a painless swelling in the
posterior left cheek that led to facial asymmetry and
negatively impacted the girl's self-image because there
are few pathology studies that explain this condition.
Clinical assessment, ultrasonic scanning, sialography,
histological testing, and surgical correction of the
unilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy were all used to
support the diagnosis
