Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Cartilage-capped exostoses, although frequently seen in the general skeleton, occur only rarely in the mandible. Two additional mandibular cases are here added to the few previously reported. The majority of cases seem to represent either developmental anomalies or examples of reactive hyperplasia. True neoplasms are extremely rare. Only these, it is suggested, should be designated “osteochondroma.”
