Osteochondroma is a benign tumor that is unusual in the maxillofacial region. Anatomy of the region, especially the mandible, is important for surgical intervention for the condylar osteochondroma. The present case report describes evaluation of condylar hyperplasia with emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of sterolithographic solid model and stereologic techniques for preoperative surgical planning, operation time, and prognosis. Condylar osteochondoma was diagnosed by panoramic radiograph and 3-dimensional computerized tomography (3DCT) as well as histopathologic analysis in a male patient. Before surgery, a stereolithographic model was created and stereologic method was used based upon 3DCT. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2009; 108: e52-e56)
