  • Title: Masseteric hypertrophy associated with administration of anabolic steroids and unilateral mastication: a case report.
    Author: Skoura C, Mourouzis C, Saranteas T, Chatzigianni E, Tesseromatis C.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 2001 Nov; 92(5):515-8. PubMed ID: 11709687.
    Abstract:
    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.
