1/22. The widened spectrum of multiple cartilaginous exostosis (MCE).2 brothers with possible homozygous multiple cartilaginous exostosis (MCE) are reported. The MCE-PD-(Peripheral Dysostosis) syndrome is discussed. A family (father, daughter and son) with Metachondromatosis is presented, and the tendency to spontaneous remission in this condition is emphasized. A "second thought", when considering the diagnosis of mce, seems worthwhile.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/22. Osteocartilaginous exostosis of the mandibular condyle. Case report.osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare. An unusual case of a 32-year-old man is reported. Throughout a two-year period the patient suffered from intractable pain in the left T. M. J. region, anterior dislocation of the condylar head, malocclusion and facial asymmetry. Radiologic examination revealed that the cartilaginous cap of an overgrowth had functioned as an articular cartilage. A "pseudo articulation" was created with the prominent articular eminence and allowed an almost free movement of the mandible. review of the seven reported cases revealed that the rare occurrence, natural history, clinical course and lack of recurrence of osteochondroma of the condylar process all substantiate the contention that this overgrowth must be considered as an osteocartilaginous exostosis rather than a neoplasm.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/22. Subungual exostosis of the fingers.Subungual exostosis in the digit is an uncommon benign tumor. Only 21 (10%) of 203 cases reported in the literature occurred in the hand. We present a recent case, detailing diagnosis, pathologic findings, and management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/22. Osteocartilaginous tumors in the parapharyngeal space arising from bone exostoses.Three osteocartilaginous tumors that arose from bone stalks were diagnosed by the demonstration, on multiplanar cross-sectional CT and MR images, of the site of stalk attachment to the adjacent mandible (one), skull base (one), and cervical vertebra (one). All three patients presented with signs and symptoms related to mass effect in the parapharyngeal region. Mass effect was more pronounced in the two cases of malignant degeneration (osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma) than in the single case of benign osteocartilaginous exostosis. Differentiation of benign from malignant osteocartilaginous tumor may be accomplished by appreciating characteristic CT and MR features of the cartilage cap. The differential diagnosis of mass lesions of the parapharyngeal space should include tumors of osteocartilaginous origin.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/22. Large exostosis of the mandibular coronoid process. Report of a case.The clinical experience of a patient with a large exostosis who had a chief complaint of difficulty in opening the mouth is reported. Radiographic examinations, especially tomography and a CT scan, were useful in the diagnosis. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice. The lesion is usually approached by a combination of intraoral and buccal routes; we also employed such an approach in this particular case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/22. Transoral resection of a condylar osteochondroma: report of case.A rare case of osteochondroma (osteocartilaginous exostosis) of the mandibular condyle is described; this represents the seventh documented case in the English language literature. Treatment consisted of transoral surgical resection which maintained condylar integrity. No maxillomandibular fixation was placed and the patient's mandibular function was undisturbed. Postoperatively, mandibular deviation was minimal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/22. Osteochondromatous exostosis of the condyle.Osteochondromatous exostosis of the condyle is rare. When these exotoses become large, they can cause temporomandibular pain and clicking with mandibular movements. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the mass. Adjunctive care may include use of intermaxillary fixation, training elastics, and jaw exercises.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/22. Superficial femoral pseudoaneurysm and arterial thromboembolism caused by an osteochondroma.A 13-year-old boy with a symptomatic distal femoral osteochondroma was found to have a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery caused by the tumor and occlusion of the anterior tibial artery due to arterial thromboembolism. Excision of the exostosis followed by saphenous vein grafting resulted in an excellent clinical recovery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |

10/22. osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. Report of a case and review of the literature.osteochondroma (osteocartilaginous exostosis) is a rare tumour in the region of the mandibular condyle. Much confusion seems to exist in the literature in differentiating these tumours from condylar chondromas as well as from condylar hyperplasias. A case of condylar osteochondroma with a review of the literature is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = exostosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
