title: [A developmental anomaly of Meckel's cartilage].
abstract: An atypical evolution of the mandibular cartilage was recorded in systematic dissections of the neck in the Anatomy Laboratory. This anomaly led to the formation of a supernumerary bony fragment in the concavity of the lower edge of the mandibular arch, with a slight adhesion thereto. This observation is reported by the authors after a recapitulation of the embryology.
