Periodicity:January - March'2014

Abstract

Osteomas of the jaws are rare osteogenic lesions considered to be true neoplasms, characterized by the formation of compact and/or cancellous bone. They can be central, peripheral, or of an extraskeletal type. The central osteoma arises from the endosteum, the peripheral osteoma from the periosteum, and the extraskeletal soft tissue osteoma usually develops within a muscle. With such a low number of cases of central osteoma reported, the objective of the present report is to describe a case of central osteoma affecting the mandible of a 30-year-old female with characteristic features.
