[Cell populations of the human mandibular condyles during growth and in the adult (author's transl)].
Tumours of cartilaginous origin dominate the group of tumours of the mandibular condyles. These cartilaginous tumours consist in fact of hyperplasia of the growth zone or osteochondroma in the young adult or reawakening of the latter in the older adult in whom an occlusion problem originally is not without aetiological interest. Osteomas of the condyles are stabilised and ossified forms of such hypercondylism. Other tumours may be seen and are related to the original cell. Malignant tumours are rare.
