Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation in the anterior maxilla: report of a case.

Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferations are a rare subgroup of the osteochondromatous lesions. They must be differentiated from reactive osteochondromatous proliferations, low grade parosteal osteogenic sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. Their recognition is important from the point of view of management, which should be by simple excision. This article describes a case of bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation in a 2-year-old child; the lesion developed in the anterior maxilla, a previously unreported site.
