“…Cartilaginous choristomas in the palate [3], buccal mucosa [4], gingival [5], oral vestibule [6], lower lip [7], and tongue including dorsum [2,8], ventral surface [9], lateral margin [8] are reported. In a review of cartilaginous choristoma, the age at diagnosis ranges widely from 10 to 80 years, with a mean of 47 years.…”

“…In the case of this report, because the patient had no history of trauma and chronic inflammation of the tongue, metaplasia appears to be ruled out. Some cartilaginous masses have been reported as "chondroma" [3,7,9,10]. Differentiation between choristoma and chondroma is somewhat controversial.…”

ResumenIntroducción. El condroma es una neoplasia benigna de origen mesenquimal y de etiología desconocida, muy infrecuente en los tejidos blandos debido a su constitución de células de cartílago maduro sin hueso; sin embargo, son frecuentes las calcificaciones focales. Al presentarse en cabeza y cuello, suele hacerlo en el maxilar o el paladar duro, y son pocos los reportes de este tumor en el espacio parafaríngeo. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 68 años de edad, que acudió a consulta por dolor en el paladar blando, cefalea y dolor paratiroideo izquierdo asociado a disfagia de cuatro años de evolución. Se practicaron los estudios pertinentes y, finalmente, se confirmó el diagnóstico de condroma mediante biopsia. Discusión. Los condromas muy rara vez se encuentran en los tejidos blandos, por lo cual se sugiere que el diagnóstico sea cuidadosamente orientado para descartar una posible malignidad de la lesión y que los controles posquirúrgicos sean frecuentes. Palabras clave: condroma; faringe; neoplasias faríngeas; diagnóstico. AbstractIntroduction: Chondroma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin and of unknown etiology, very infrequently appearing in the soft tissues due to its constitution of mature cartilage cells without bone; however, they usually present focal calcifications. When occurring in the head and neck, they usually appear in the jaw or hard palate. Just a few cases of this pathology are reported in the pharynx. Materials and Methods:We present a case of a female 68 years old, who came to the clinic due to pain in the soft palate, headache and left parathyroid pain associated with dysphagia, of four years of evolution. Corresponding studies were carried out and finally the diagnosis of chondroma was confirmed by biopsy. Discusion: Chondromas are rarely found in the soft tissues, suggesting that the diagnosis should be carefully oriented to rule out possible malignancy of the lesion and that post-surgical controls should be frequent.

“…14 Investigators have described extraskeletal chondroma as a cartilaginous choristoma owing to the presence of a tumorlike mass composed of "normal tissues" in an "abnormal location." 15 The histologic analysis reveals a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass composed of mature hyaline cartilage surrounded by condensed collagenous tissue. Some cellular atypia occasionally is observed.…”
