Chondromas in the head and neck, and particularly in the nasal region, are uncommon. A unique case of a chondroma within the anterior nasal spine has been reported. The asymptomatic lesion was discovered radiographically and mimicked a mesiodens. The tumor consisted of benign-appearing cartilaginous tissue; enucleation has resulted in a apparent cure. A hamartomatous origin has been postulated for this unusual lesion.
头颈部的软骨瘤，尤其是鼻区的软骨瘤并不常见。有一例发生于鼻前棘内的软骨瘤的独特病例被报道。该无症状病变经影像学检查发现，形似额外牙。肿瘤由外观良性的软骨组织构成；摘除术后已明显治愈。对于这一不寻常的病变，推测其起源于错构瘤。
