Abstract

Osteomas are benign osteogenic tumours which are slow growing in nature. They mainly develop in the craniofacial bones but rarely originates from the mandible. The three varieties of osteomas are central, peripheral and extraskeletal. Central and peripheral varieties of osteomas develop in the facial bones whereas peripheral osteoma is seen in the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinus. The occurrence in the lower border of mandible is very rare. Herein, we report a rare case of peripheral osteoma of the lower border of the mandible in a 46-year-old male and excision of the lesion was done. The patient was asymptomatic thereafter.
