“…The peripheral osteoma occurs mostly in frontal, ethmoidal and maxillary sinus [3][4][5]8]. Other documented craniofacial sites include external auditory canal, orbit, temporal bone, zygomatic arch, pterygoid plates and rarely jaws [6,8,12,13].…”

An osteoma is a benign, slow growing osteogenic tumor characterized by proliferation of either compact or cancellous bone. It can be central, peripheral or extraskeletal. Clinically osteomas are usually asymptomatic. These lesions often go undetected unless incidentally found on radiographic survey or until they have extended to such an extent that they cause facial asymmetry or functional impairment. The most common site of osteoma to develop in maxillofacial region is skull. Giant osteomas in mandible are rare. We present and discuss a case of giant osteoma of right mandible which was surgically excised.

“…It can be central, peripheral or extraskeletal. Central osteomas arise from endosteum, peripheral osteoma from the periosteum; and extraskeletal osteoma within soft tissues or muscles [3][4][5]. Clinically osteomas are usually asymptomatic [2,6].…”

“…Lingual aspect of the mandibular body and the inferior border of the angle are the most common sites affected in the mandible. [5] In the maxilla there have been reports of osteomas arising from the maxillary sinus [11], from the outer plate in the molar region, from the tuberosity, and from the anterior or posterior parts of the maxilla. Although an osteoma can arise at any age, it seems to be more common among young adults.…”

“…Varboncoeur et al [11] considered osteomas to arise either from embryological cartilaginous rests or from persistent embryological periosteum. According to the developmental or embryological theory [13], osteomas would then originate from the suture between bones with different embryological derivatives (membranous/enchondral), but this seems rather unlikely as in most cases they develop in adults and not during childhood or adolescence.…”

Background Osteomas are benign neoplasm often associated with facial asymmetry, pain and surface ulceration. Peripheral osteomas are more common in the craniomaxillofacial region. It is prevalent at younger age but maximum seen in the sixth decade, with a female to male ratio is 1:2. The aim of this study was to review the clinical presentations and management protocol of such lesions in cranio-maxillofacial region. Materials and Methods The study was conducted at Command Military Dental Centre (EC) during May 2004 to May 2007. Six serving soldiers and their families (four males, two females), age group ranging between 13 and 56 years, mean age 34.5 years were recruited in this study. The tumors were excised using extra oral, intra oral and combined approaches; no complications were reported during post op period. Results All the cases were operated under GA through extra oral, intra oral and combined approaches with satisfactory results. HPE report was benign in all our cases with no post operative complications reported during follow up. Conclusion Cranio-maxillofacial osteomas are exclusively benign tumors and not very common entities. Proper diagnosis and precision management alleviates symptoms without any post surgical complications. In our series of six cases the tumors were diagnosed and managed as per standard surgical protocol with excellent result.

“…It is debatable whether osteomas are a benign neoplasm or a hamartoma type lesion (1). In general, osteomas grow slowly and progressively (1)(2)(3) and are categorized as central, peripheral or extraskeletal according to location (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Clinically, peripheral osteomas (PO) are unilateral, sessile or pedunculated and have mushroomlike lesions ranging from 10 to 40 mm in diameter (2-4).…”

Osteomas are osteogenic lesions that have a limited growth potential. They are comprised of histologically and radiographically normal bone. Osteomas are categorized as central, peripheral or extraskeletal according to location. Clinically, peripheral osteomas (PO) are unilateral, sessile or pedunculated and have mushroom-like lesions ranging from 10 to 40 mm in diameter. Osteomas affecting the mandible are rare. In this report, we presented a gigantic peripheral mass on the left mandible in a 55-year old patient exhibiting clinical signs related to neoplasia.
