“…Osteoma is a benign tumour composed of compact or spongy mature bone that commonly affects the maxillofacial region (paranasal sinuses, temporal bone, sphenoid bone, external auditory canal and mandible). It is diagnosed in other bones rarely [2] [6] [7]. It can appear superficially to the bone (periosteal osteoma), which agrees with the case reported, or is still located in the medullary bone (endosteal osteoma) [1].…”

“…to seek health service only when the tumours present great proportions and extensions [1] [2] [4]. The pathogenesis of this tumor is not well understood and it can be considered as a true neoplasm or a development disorder or a reactive mechanism due to trauma, infection or muscle pull [4] [5].…”

“…Patients with osteomas should be investigated about Gardner's Syndrome that is imposed by multiple osteomas, supernumerary teeth, gastrointestinal polyps, epidermoid cysts and dermoid tumours and the intestinal polyps can become malignant tumours [6] [7]. Radiographic images can be sufficient to diagnose the osteoma [2] [8]. However, for the surgical treatment (removal) of the lesion, a computed tomography is fundamental to planning and to execution of the…”

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm originating from the continuous proliferation of compact and/or cancellous mature bone. The tumor can be classified as peripheral, central or extra-skeletal regarding location and it commonly seen in the cranio-facial region especially at the skull and paranasal sinuses. The exact etiology of the tumor is still controversial; however, it is considered that infection, trauma, muscle activity contributes the occurrence of the tumor. Due to the slow growing nature of osteoma, it is coincidentally detected on radiographs or when the tumor reaches a large size enough to trigger symptoms and cause facial disfigurement. Although mainly detected in the craniofacial bones, osteomas are rarely located in the jaw bones. The purpose of this review, is to present the diagnosis and treatment plan of a peripheral osteoma in the mandibular angulus region of an 8-year-old boy together with a review of published cases of peripheral osteomas of mandibular angulus.

“…If osteoma is not present in the maxillary sinus, the mandible localization is much more common than in the maxilla. Most commonly, osteoma occur on the body of the mandible and in the area of mandibular angle, but some authors claim that the condyle process is the most common location of this kind of tumour [4], and the dominant symptoms are occlusal imbalance or facial asymmetry. Osteomas create external protuberances (osteoma periostalis, exostosis) on the surface of the bone, or they appear inside the bone and cause distortion in the maxilla or mandible (osteoma centrale, enostosis).…”

The aim of this paper was comparison of clinical and radiographic images and presentation of treatment methods of two cases of tumours-complex odontoma and osteoma located in the posterior region of the maxilla in two adolescent patients who reported to the Department of Oral Surgery. The first lesion was detected during radiological examination which was ordered due to the absence of the first, second and third molars in the right maxilla on intraoral examination. In the second case, exposure of the bone and absence of teeth in the lateral segment of the left maxilla was noted. On intraoral examination, a fragment of exposed bone, similar in appearance to sequestrum, was visible in the place of missing tooth 27. The tumours in question differed in tissue origin: complex odontoma is a developmental odontogenic lesion, hamartomatic in type, containing haphazardly but clearly defined hard tissue; osteoma is a benign connective tissue tumour originating from bone tissue. In the case of a complex odontoma, the treatment of choice is surgical treatment to perform complete removal of the tumour. A similar approach concerns the osteoma if the tumour deforms the alveolar bone or interferes with proper tooth eruption.
