Localized outgrowths are very common on the facialbones, especially the nasal processes of the maxillfe, wherethey may be unilateral or bilateral (Fig. 21). The causeof these exostoses is obscure. Small irregular osseous pro-minences are fairly frequent along the alveolar borders ofthe maxilla and mandible. 40 CONNECTIVE-TI8SUE TUM0UBS Exostoses of the maxilla have been observed in nativesof the West Coast of Africa, and in all probability have.
