In this report we present a patient with unilateral masseteric hypertrophy who
used anabolic steroids and was chewing entirely unilaterally for 1 month.
Computed tomography and histologic examination were used to confirm the
diagnosis. The combined action of unilateral mastication and anabolic steroid use
is probably responsible for the rapid development of unilateral masseteric
hypertrophy.
