“…Osteomas may be a reactive or inflammatory lesion which arise as a result of trauma or chronic infection in the paranasal sinuses leading to the proliferation of osteogenic cells [12]. The traction of medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid and temporalis muscle may be a possible etiologic factor since peripheral osteomas are reported in areas of close proximity with these muscles [3]. In our cases, Case 1 revealed a history of chronic irritation due to the ill-fitting dystrophic calcifications [6].…”

“…Osteomas have a lower incidence rate of 0.01-0.04% among general population and it constitutes 2.9% of all bone tumors and 12.1% of benign bone tumors [10]. Peripheral osteoma appear as a pedunculated mushroom like masses of 1-4 cms in size originating from the periosteum of the bone and are frequently encountered in the paranasal sinuses [3,7]. Peripheral osteomas of the jaws are reported more frequently in the mandible compared to maxilla with lingual aspect of the body and inferior border of the angle of the mandible being the common site [12].…”

“…Extraoral approach is preferred for peripheral osteomas that are located in the posterior region of the mandible. Recurrence after complete excision is very rare and malignant transformation has not been reported in the literature [ 11 , 12 ]. In our case, the patient was reported with a lesion at the angle of the mandible and hence an extraoral approach was used.…”
