“…However, Kashima et al [7] found a female-to-male ratio of 3:1 in their case series, while other researchers have reported ratios of 2:1 [11] or even 1:2 [3]. Although osteomas can develop at any age, they seem to be more common among young adults [2,3,8,12]. Nevertheless, in other studies, higher frequencies of occurrence between the third and fifth decades were reported [7,11,13].…”

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

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.

“…To date, only one case of recurrence of a periosteal osteoma of the mandible following excision has been reported. Moreover, no reports of malignant transformation of a peripheral osteoma have been described [6,12,13,18]. For these reasons, the treatment of asymptomatic lesions is controversial [13].…”

“…Often remain undetected unless incidentally found on a routine radiographic survey or until they cause facial asymmetry or functional impairment [15]. In some cases, based on the location and size, the tumor may cause facial deformity, mandibular deviation on opening, restricted mandibular movement especially those on condyle, occlusal dysfunction, headache or exophthalmos [14,16].…”

Osteoma is a benign bone tumor which rarely occurs in the maxillofacial region. Its incidence is rare in the jaws and mandible is more affected than the maxilla. Surgery with complete removal of the lesion is the most adequate treatment. It occurs predominantly in the second decade, with a tendency for malignant transformation by age. There have been very few reported cases of osteomas located on the ramus of mandible. Here we present a case of osteoma on ramus of mandible along with review of literature.

“…Open procedures, such as lateral rhinotomy or an osteoplastic flap technique, have been widely used in the past and are still indicated for particular conditions [4,9]. The recent development of endoscopic techniques and instruments has offered an alternative approach to sinonasal osteoma surgery, allowing direct visualization of the mass and reducing the morbidity and cosmetic complications [4,10]. In our case the decision to use the endonasal approach was supported by the following considerations of the anatomic connections and local extension of the tumour (Figure 1):…”

“…In our case, in order to achieve complete excision of the tumour, removal of the lamina papyracea, which was in continuity with the tumour, was unavoidable; therefore we considered it necessary to repair the medial wall of the orbit to prevent the risk of enophthalmos and visual alterations [9,10]. For this purpose a 0.85-mm sheet of porous polyethylene was cut to fit the dimensions and shape of the orbital defect ( Figure 3) and then applied, via the endonasal route, with the underlay technique using no fixation device other than an absorbable sponge.…”

Ethmoid osteoma with frontal and orbital extension: Endoscopic removal and reconstruction

Endoscopy provides a safe and effective way of treating craniofacial bony benign lesions. This approach permits not only complete removal of the tumour, but also reconstruction of the bony boundaries as necessary. Osteoma is a rare, osteogenic tumour that usually grows slowly and asymptomatically. It is the most frequent benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Orbital extension is a rare event that can give rise to ocular signs and symptoms; in such a case treatment is mandatory, although debate persists regarding the optimal approach. We report the case of a bulky fronto-ethmo-orbital osteoma that was treated using an endoscopic trans-nasal approach. The medial wall of the orbit was repaired by means of an implant of porous polyethylene endoscopically positioned using an "underlay" technique. The surgical technique is described and the reasons for the endoscopic choice are also discussed. Fifteen days after the operation the patient reported complete resolution of craniofacial pain. Nasoendoscopy showed complete integration of the polyethylene implant in the healing tissue 4 weeks after surgery. A CT scan performed 6 months postoperatively showed good ventilation of the sinonasal cavity and effective reconstruction of the medial orbital wall.
