“…Activity in the lesion is diagnosed by scintigraphy. [15] Histologically, osteoma is reported as either a normal-appearing dense mass of lamellar bone with minimal marrow tissues (compact osteoma) or trabeculae of mature lamellar bone, with intervening fatty or fibrous marrow (cancellous osteoma). [16] There are no reports of osteomas undergoing malignant transformation.…”

Osteomas are benign tumors composed of mature compact or cancellous bone. They represent an uncommon lesion that occurs mainly in craniofacial complex bones. In jaws, they can appear on the bone surface as a polypoid or sessile mass, characterizing a peripheral osteoma (PO), or can be a lesion in the medullar space, then it is called central osteoma. In view of the scarcely reported cases about POs, this article presents a case of PO of the maxillofacial area that was surgically resected using hemicoronal approach.

“…In their centers such masses may exhibit a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque appearance depending on the amount of marrow tissues present [39,45]. Panoramic radiography, CT, MRI and radionuclide scanning (scintigraphy) have been utilized for imaging of osteomas of the TMJ region [46].…”

Temporomandibular Joint Pathology - Current Approaches and Understanding

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) forms a complex functional system with teeth, bones, connected muscles and ligaments. Any discomfort in any of these structures directly affects the joint. The complaints are mostly pain, malocclusion and swelling.Temporomandibular joint tumors are very uncommon but show symptoms similar to intra-articular disorders that make up most of these disorders. The most common TMJspecific benign tumors are classified after a brief literature review. Our classification also includes the osteoma of the TMJ, other than World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of soft tissue and bone tumors. This benign tumor was also included in the classification because of its higher frequency in the literature. The treatment of these neoplasms may be conservative or radical surgery.
