“…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]. There is greater occurrence in mandible than maxilla [2,4,8].…”

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.

“…The management of osteoma is surgical and is only indicated in patient with clinical symptoms [13]. Surgical indications are based on the degree of disfigurement, limitation or loss of function or desired for definitive histopathologic diagnosis [2].…”

“…Osteomas affecting the coronoid process are uncommon [17]. Another uncommon location is the zygomatic arch, of which only one case has been reported [18]. Although osteomas are generally asymptomatic, those of the mandible may cause primary asymmetry when they reach very large dimensions.…”

An unusual peripheral osteoma of the mandibular notch: a case report with computed tomography evaluation

et al. 2011

An osteoma, a slow-growing benign osseous neoplasm of the bone, is characterized by a proliferation of osteoblasts that form bone trabeculae in the connective tissue stroma. It is an uncommon condition that generally occurs in the maxillofacial bones. This neoplasm may be clinically silent for years without any symptoms. It is usually diagnosed when it becomes enlarged and is incidentally observed during a radiological examination. The radiographic characteristic of the lesion is a well circumscribed round or oval radiopaque mass. In this paper, we present a case of an unusual localization of a peripheral osteoma incidentally detected during radiographic examination with subsequent three-dimensional computed tomography evaluation.

“…The average age of osteoma patients is around 50 years [5][6][7][8]. The etiology of these tumors is still a matter of discussion with various causes having been proposed, such as an embryonic malformation, familial disposition or hereditary transmission, traumatic or inflammatory triggers, calcifying polyposis, metaplastic changes or a calcium metabolism disorder [1,9]. The tumor grows very slowly, but its size may increase considerably over time [2].…”

Osteomas are among the most common benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. Symptomatic osteomas are most often found in the frontal recess and the frontal sinus. While the extranasal approach is still a part of the treatment concept for removing osteomas at this localization, over the last years the endoscopically controlled endonasal approach has greatly gained in importance due to the improved surgical equipment. We retrospectively analyzed the surgical indication, surgical approach and outcome of the removal of osteomas of the frontal recess and the frontal sinus performed at our hospital between 1996 and 2010. The exact surgical technique, intra- and postoperative complications, the duration of the hospital stay and the follow-up and subjective contentment of the patients were evaluated. With a total of 24 patients being included, the study comprises one of the largest groups of patients with osteomas of the frontal recess and sinus. Over the study period, the frequency of the endoscopic approach clearly increased. Previously suggested guidelines for the endoscopic resection of a frontal sinus osteoma turned out to be superseded. Endoscopically controlled resection even of large, adversely located osteomas of the frontal recess and the frontal sinus is becoming increasingly possible, but is still naturally limited by the individual anatomic conditions and the need for experienced surgeons.
