Abstract
It must be emphasized that hemihypertrophy of the face and jaws may or may not involve
all of the individual tissues of a single side of the face. Unilateral enlargement
of all the tissues of the face and jaws is extremely rare and is known as the true
hemifacial hypertrophy. Hemihypertrophy may, however, affect only the mandible, as
the foregoing case reports have shown. It should be pointed out at this time that
enlargement of the bony mandible makes the evaluation of the possible soft-tissue
involvement extremely difficult. It can be seen that the presence, as well as the
relative degree, of enlargement is difficult to determine, since most authors agree
that the involvement of an individual tissue may be so slight as to be clinically
insignificant. Treatment of a condition with such a wide variation of involvement
must, of necessity, vary radically.
