A 40-year-old Indian male patient was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a slowly enlarging intra-oral, right-sided palatal swelling of one-year duration, with a previous diagnosis of osteochondroma. Extraorally, patient presented with a mild right-sided facial swelling. On intraoral examination, the palatal swelling was extending from the distal aspect of canine to the distal aspect of second molar with involvement of the maxillary tuberosity. The swelling was non-tender, bony-hard in consistency and covered by normal mucosa. The medical history was non-contributory with no relevant family history of any skeletal disease. Despite the attempt for complete removal of the tumor previously, it recurred within six months. The present article reports an extremely rare clinical case of endosteal (central) osteochondroma, manifesting itself as a radiopaque mass in the right posterior aspect of the palate.
一名40岁的印度男性患者因右侧腭部口腔内缓慢增大的肿物被转诊至口腔颌面外科，该肿物已持续一年，此前诊断为骨软骨瘤。口外检查时，患者右侧面部轻度肿胀。口腔内检查发现，腭部肿物从尖牙远中延伸至第二磨牙远中，累及上颌结节。肿物无压痛，质地硬如骨，表面覆盖正常黏膜。病史无特殊，无任何骨骼疾病的相关家族史。尽管此前曾试图完整切除肿瘤，但在六个月内复发。本文报道了一例极为罕见的骨内（中央型）骨软骨瘤临床病例，表现为腭部右后方的不透光肿物。
