Several findings suggest that cartilage is an inherent tissue heterotopia rather than being a metaplastic secondary process to some previous stimuli. We present a cartilaginous heterotopia in this region in a 13-year-old girl supporting the heterotopia concept.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle112-3-469702-s2.0-0036555614N/A17019
