Peripheral Osteoma at the Posterior Basis of Mandible: An Unusual

Location

Osteomas are benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumors commonly

occurring in the craniofacial bones. Osteomas are characterized by the

proliferation of compact and/or cancellous bone. They can be central,

extraskeletal type or peripheral. In this poster, we presented a large solitary

peripheral osteoma located in the basis of the left posterior mandible and

causing mild facial deformity and pain by palpation in a 43-year-old man.

Radiographic examination by computed tomography revealed radiopacity with a

well-circumscribed, irregular surfaced mass approximately 3cm in size. The

osteoma was removed surgically, and no recurrence has been observed.
