“…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].…”

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.

“…8 The most common locations of osteomas are the paranasal sinuses including frontal, ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses. 4 The lesions rarely affect the jaws. 2,4 Sayan et al reported that 22.85% of periosteal osteomas occurred in the mandible as compared to 81.3% reported by Kaplan et al 5,8 Osteomas are classified as: compact/ivory, cancellous/spongy, or mixed on histopathological and clinical grounds.…”

“…Kaplan et al and others have reported that most periosteal osteomas of the mandible occur on the lower border or on the buccal aspect, and this site is more susceptible to trauma than the lingual aspect. 4,5,11 A combination of trauma and muscle traction may provide the best explanation of the pathogenesis of mandibular periosteal osteomas. It is suggested that osteomas are initiated following minor traumas which are unlikely to be remembered by the patient years later.…”

“…Bony hyperplasia associated with muscle traction is also a documented phenomenon. 4,5 Other aetiologies mentioned in the literature are that of a Reilly-Finkel-Biskis osteoma virus (ecotropic type C retrovirus) and their clones which have shown to induce osteomas in mice. 12 Their frequent relationship to Gardner's syndrome is of crucial clinical significance.…”
