“…Peripheral osteomas are usually located at the mandibular body, whereas the condyloid process of the mandible is rarely affected. A review of the literature, as it is shown below, revealed only a few cases of osteomas located on the mandibular condyle, though each case is reportable [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ] ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Symptoms of an osteoma of the condyloid process depend on its exact location, and the most frequent symptoms included trismus [ 16 , 19 , 20 , 23 , 24 , 26 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], swelling [ 22 , 23 , 25 , 30 , 31 ], malocclusion [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 20 , 23 , 32 ], and asymmetry of the face [ 15 , 17 , 21 , 26 , 28 , 29 ]. Pain [ 19 , 28 , 31 ] was recorded in only a few cases and difficulty in swallowing [ 27 ] was observed in only one case of a large osteoma which developed from the internal surface of the mandibular condyle and had intra-oral swelling.…”

The purpose of this article is to present four new cases of peripheral osteoma of the mandibular condyle and the literature review. A retrospective study of files from our Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery over the last 6 years revealed four cases of peripheral osteomas located in the area of the mandibular condyle. Diagnostic procedure included clinical, radiographic, and histologic criteria. Gardner’s syndrome was excluded from patient history and clinical evaluation. One patient had only an aesthetic disturbance, with facial swelling, and the other three patients presented disturbances of the mandibular function, including deviation during mouth opening along with malocclusion. Three of the patients were male and one was female; all were of middle age (45–65 years old). The proposed surgical treatment was accepted by half of the patients, while the remaining half declined the operation after a confirmation of the diagnosis. Peripheral osteomas of the maxillofacial region are uncommon, and some cases with multiple osteomas are related to Gardner’s syndrome. An osteoma of the mandibular condyle is very rare and surgical treatment is challenging for the surgeon with regards to the approach selection and the related complications. In the two cases that accepted the proposed surgical treatment, no recurrence and no complication was observed.

“…Generally, painless facial asymmetry is the reason of the patient to apply to the dentist. In most of the published cases of peripheral osteoma located in the mandibular angulus the main complaint of the patient is painless swelling (10,13,5,17,(22)(23)(24). Difficulty in mastication, swallowing, and breathing secondary to large osteomas has also been reported (2,25,26).…”

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm originating from the continuous proliferation of compact and/or cancellous mature bone. The tumor can be classified as peripheral, central or extra-skeletal regarding location and it commonly seen in the cranio-facial region especially at the skull and paranasal sinuses. The exact etiology of the tumor is still controversial; however, it is considered that infection, trauma, muscle activity contributes the occurrence of the tumor. Due to the slow growing nature of osteoma, it is coincidentally detected on radiographs or when the tumor reaches a large size enough to trigger symptoms and cause facial disfigurement. Although mainly detected in the craniofacial bones, osteomas are rarely located in the jaw bones. The purpose of this review, is to present the diagnosis and treatment plan of a peripheral osteoma in the mandibular angulus region of an 8-year-old boy together with a review of published cases of peripheral osteomas of mandibular angulus.
