Abstract
Soft tissue chondroma of the palate is a rare lesion. We report a rare case of soft tissue chondroma of the hard palate with a review of the literature. A 59-year-old man was referred to our department because of a symptomatic mass on the median anterior margin of the hard palate of 4 year's duration. The lesion was approximately 15 mm × 10 mm × 8 mm in size and pedunculated. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia, and the pathological diagnosis was soft tissue chondroma. The histopathological findings suggested that the heterotopic formation of cartilage was caused by the metaplastic change of mesenchymal cells into chondrocytes. Postoperative wound healing has been uneventful, with no sign of recurrence during 2 years after surgery.
