[Mandibular condyle tumors (author's transl)].

The must frequently observed mandibular condyle tumors are benign in nature, followed by metastases; primary malignant tumors are very rarely encountered, following a review of the clinical and radiographic characteristics of all types of tumors that occur, three cases of condylar metastases are described. Treatment of primary tumors is exclusively surgical, that of secondary lesions being palliative because of the often poor prognosis related to the primary tumor.
