Thegrowth extended across the roof of the mouth, and the oralmucous membrane was universally hypertrophied, so thatthe patient could take only liquid foods for several monthsbefore death. X-ray treatment made no examination did not show malignancy. BONE TUMORS AND CYSTS These may be grouped in three classes: (a) Exostosesor osteophytes; (b) osteomata or hyperostoses; (c) cysts ofbone. OSTEOMA 271 (a) Exostoses Exostoses or osteophytes are small, round, bony growthsarising in the periosteum and spreading laterally as a re-sult of inflammatory or traumatic disturbance of this mem-brane and its attachment to the bone. They are productsof the periosteum, just as reproduced bone after are composed of branching trabeculae or sheaves filledin with cellular connective tissue or spongy have no clinical significance, do not cause death, andshould be removed
