Peripheral Osteoma of The Angle of Mandible
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Osteomas are benign osteogenic lesions with very slow and continuous growth seen in the craniofacial region, most commonly affecting temporal bones, sinuses, maxilla or mandible. They are characterized by the proliferation of compact or cancellous bone. It is usually asymptomatic and it is often detected incidentally on routine radiographic examination or until it causes facial asymmetry or dysfunction. The peripheral osteoma of the jaw is uncommon. We present a case of solitary peripheral osteoma of the angle of the mandible in a 26-year old female with clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic findings.
