Abstract
Hemifacial hypertrophy is a rare congenital disease involving hypertrophy of both soft and hard tissues of the face, and is usually discovered soon after birth. This pathology may be classified as either true or partial hemifacial hypertrophy. Many conditions resemble hemifacial hypertrophy, potentially complicatingdiagnosis. We present a case of true hemifacial hypertrophy in a 6-year-old girl with radiological findings, differential diagnosis and a brief review of the literature. Myohyperplasia, reported previously as a separate entity, may actually represent a form of true or partial hemifacial hypertrophy. Management of true hemifacial hypertrophy requires meticulous planning, including multiple treatment modalities.
