Odontogenic keratocyst associated with an intramandibular chondroma.
The unusual feature of an intramandibular chondroma in association with an odontogenic keratocyst in a 59-year-old man is described. The keratocyst recurred and required two reoperations. The coexistence of an odontogenic keratocyst and a chondroma of the jaw was probably a coincidence of two simultaneous but otherwise unrelated lesions. The possibility that the keratocyst and the chondroma were due to a single developmental disturbance of the region cannot be excluded. No signs of a recurrence were seen at the last follow-up examination four years after the operation.
