Unilateral coronoid hyperplasia
Osteochondroma
Benign neoplasm forming a bony projection with a cartilagenous cap, with continuity between the marrow cavity of the tumor and underlying bone
Osteochondroma
Painless, facial asymmetry, trismus, TMJ dysfunction
Osteochondroma
Localization: coronoid process, mandibular condyle
Onset at puberty
Osteochondroma
Benign cartilagenous tumor of unknown cause. Rarely seen
Appears as painless, slowly progressive swelling
Chondroma
Chondroma that airses in the maxillary region usually found in?
Anterior region, where cartilaginous remnants of development are located
Location of mandibular chondromas
Body and symphysis area. Coronoid process and condyle
Equal gender predilection
Majority of tumors appear before age of 50
Chondroma
Irregular radiolucent. Foci of calcification within the radiolucent lesion
Chondroma
__ pharyngeal arch does meckel’s cartilage originate
First
A cartilage that forms in the embryonic development of lower jaw
Meckel’s cartilage
Well defined lobules of mature hyaline cartilage
Contains single regular nuclei
Chondroma
exhibits a heterogeneous pattern with cytologically
atypical and irregularly spaced chondrocytes.
