Osteochondroma is a common benign tumor of the axial skeleton rarely seen in the facial bones. When encountered in the facial skeleton, it is commonly found in the mandible, usually in the condyle or coronoid processes. There are only two earlier reported cases of the tumor in the mandibular symphysis. We report an unusual case of osteochondroma of the mandibular symphysis found in conjunction with osteochondroma of the distal femur and, stress the need for long-term follow-up in patients with multiple lesions.
骨软骨瘤是一种常见的良性肿瘤，好发于中轴骨骼，在面骨中较为罕见。当出现在面骨时，通常发生在下颌骨，多见于髁突或冠状突。下颌骨联合处仅有两例先前报道的该肿瘤病例。我们报告一例下颌骨联合处骨软骨瘤合并股骨远端骨软骨瘤的罕见病例，并强调对多发病变患者进行长期随访的必要性。
