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.
起源于软骨的肿瘤在髁突肿瘤中占主导地位。实际上，这些软骨肿瘤包括生长带的增生或年轻成人中的骨软骨瘤，或者在老年成人中后者的再次激活，而老年成人中最初的咬合问题并非没有病因学意义。髁突骨瘤是这种髁突过度生长的稳定和骨化形式。还可见到其他与原始细胞相关的肿瘤。恶性肿瘤很少见。
