Abstract

Introduction
Osteomas are rare benign osteogenic lesions commonly seen in the maxillofacial region. Osteomas in the maxillofacial region are normally asymptomatic until the patient develops complications due to asymmetry and malocclusion. Osteomas can be either peripheral, central or extraskeletal. Central osteomas are of endosteal origin whereas peripheral osteomas originate from the periosteum. Peripheral osteomas are more common in the mandible than the maxilla. The aim of this article is to report a case of a mandibular osteoma above the mental foramen.
Case
A 55-year-old male patient was referred to the clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the complaint of a facial swelling. Radiographic examinations revealed a hard tissue mass above the mental foramen and the lesion was removed with the patient under local anesthesia. The histopathological diagnosis was an osteoma.
Conclusion
The healing was uneventful without recurrence at the end of 1 year.
