Peripheral Osteoma:A Case Report with Review of Literature
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion manifesting from compact or cancellous bone. These can be classified into three types according to their origin. Slow growing osteomas are benign tumours. The recurrence rate is very rare. A very rare neoplastic lesion in the maxillofacial region like Peripheral osteoma is more frequently found in mandible. This is an unusual case of peripheral osteoma present in the buccal aspect of premolar region of mandible corresponding to apical 2/3rd of ischolar_main. The radiograph provides sufficient information for diagnosis but CT scan is the choice for planning surgery. Completely removing the tumour surgically is the most preferred treatment.
