Condylar hyperplasia is a pathologic condition associated with an overgrowing of the condylar cartilage. It is possible to distinguish two clinical forms; vertical and horizontal when the lesion is unilateral. We have reported two cases of vertical condylar hyperplasia, both of them treated by simple condylectomy, in our opinion the selected treatment. Histopathological images show an increase of the growth and maturation layers of the condylar cartilage and inclusions of cartilaginous tissue, with appearance of glove fingers into the underlying cancellous bone.
髁突增生是一种与髁突软骨过度生长相关的病理状况。当病变为单侧时，有可能区分出两种临床类型：垂直型和水平型。我们报告了两例垂直型髁突增生病例，均采用单纯髁突切除术进行治疗，我们认为这是所选择的治疗方法。组织病理学图像显示髁突软骨的生长层和成熟层增加以及软骨组织包埋，在下方的松质骨中出现手套指样表现。
