          Abstract

          Osteomas are benign tumors which are composed of mature compact or cancellous bone. They can be either peripheral, central or extraskeletal. The peripheral osteoma arises from surface of the bone (periosteal) whereas the central osteoma arises from the bone medullary (endosteal) and the extra-skeletal soft tissue osteoma usually develops within the muscle. Osteomas are most commonly found in the skull and facial bones. Multiple osteomas may be associated with Gardner’s Syndrome. These lesions are usually painless and recurrence is uncommon after local excision. In this case report clinical, radiographic findings and treatment of a 24-year-old male patient with peripheral osteoma in the anterior mandible are presented.

          Peripheral osteoma of the oral and maxillofacial region: a study of 35 new cases.

          The purpose of this article was to present 35 new cases of peripheral osteoma of the oral and maxillofacial region with an analysis of the literature. We performed a search of our files for the past 5 years for peripheral osteoma of the oral and maxillofacial region. The criteria used to diagnose osteoma included the radiographic and histologic features. The 35 patients, which included 23 males (65%) and 12 females (35%), ranged in age from 14 to 58 years, with a mean age of 29.4 years. Most of the osteomas were located in frontal bone (28.57%), mandible (22.85%), and maxilla (14.28%). Peripheral osteomas of the jaw bones are uncommon, and accordingly, patients with osteoma should be evaluated for Gardner's syndrome. In addition, it is appropriate to provide both clinical and radiographic follow-up after surgical excision of a peripheral osteoma.

            Peripheral osteoma of the mandible: a study of 10 new cases and analysis of the literature.

            Ten new cases of peripheral osteoma of the mandible are described. These lesions are uncommon and only 15 other cases have been reported in the English language literature over the past 30 years. There is evidence to suggest that the peripheral osteoma of the mandible is a traumatically induced reactive lesion and that muscle traction plays a role in its initiation. In view of this possibility, the term "parosteal osseous hyperplasia" may be more appropriate for those lesions in which a positive history of trauma preceded the onset.

              Peripheral osteoma of the mandible: case report and review of the literature.

              Osteoma is a benign often asymptomatic neoplasm, consisting of well-differentiated mature bone. This paper reports a case of peripheral osteoma located in the anterior mandibular region and provides a review of the literature about this lesion in the jaws. A 43-year-old white woman presented with a swelling in the left mandible of 7 years duration. The English literature was reviewed over the past 76 years and data about location, histopathology and number of the peripheral osteomas, sex, and age of the patients were evaluated. Data analysis showed 69 well-documented cases of peripheral osteoma. Peripheral osteomas are more frequent in the mandible than the maxilla and the cancellous type was most frequent; males and females are equally affected in the mandible; the age range was 9-85 years. The peripheral type of osteoma is most common in the lower jaws, occurs at the surface of the cortical bone and is sessile or pedicled.
