Osteoblastoma of the mandibular condyle: Review of the literature and report of a case

Benign osteoblastoma (OB) is a rare tumor of bone representing less than 1% of all tumors of the maxillofacial region. Vertebral column, sacrum, long bones, and calvarium are more frequent sites of this tumor. Clinically, patients present with pain and swelling. Histologically, contain a well vascularized, osteoblastic connective tissue stroma and occasionally, osteoclasts along with osteoid and varying degrees of calcification, as well as immature bone may also be noted. The main aim of this report is present a case of OB occurring in the mandible and a brief review of English Medical Literature of this tumor. Many bone-producing lesions possess some overlapping clinical, radiographic or histopathological findings similar to osteoblastoma. Understanding and correlating all features helps in correct diagnosis and adequate management of this rare entity. Hence, osteoblastoma has to be differentiated from other bone lesions for correct diagnosis.

Background Benign osteoblastoma is a rare tumor of bone representing less than 1% of all tumors of the maxillofacial region. There is a slight predilection for the mandible. More frequent sites for this tumor are the vertebral column, sacrum, long bones, and calvarium. A small predilection in males exists. The age of occurrence ranges from 5 to 37 years, with an average of 16.5. Clinically, patients have pain and swelling. The tumor contains a wellvascularized, osteoblastic connective tissue stroma. Osteoclasts may also be present. Osteoid with varying degrees of calcification, as well as immature bone, is noted. Case report Very few cases of osteoblastomas occurring in the jaws have been reported in the literature. This is one such a rare case report of OB occurring in a 45 year old female patient with a swelling in right lower back region since 5 years. Summary and conclusion Osteoblastoma has to be differentiated from other bone lesions for correct diagnosis. Many bone producing lesions possess some overlapping clinical, radiographic or histopathological findings similar to osteoblastoma. Understanding and correlating all these features is of utmost importance. This helps in correctly diagnosing and helps in adequate management of this rare entity, giving a good prognosis.

“…OB is more common in jaw than osteoma [15]. Osteoblastomas occur predominantly on the left side of the posterior mandible and are generally larger than osteoma, exhibit rapid rate of growth and are associated with pain, tenderness, and discomfort [16].…”

Background Osteomas are benign neoplasm often associated with facial asymmetry, pain and surface ulceration. Peripheral osteomas are more common in the craniomaxillofacial region. It is prevalent at younger age but maximum seen in the sixth decade, with a female to male ratio is 1:2. The aim of this study was to review the clinical presentations and management protocol of such lesions in cranio-maxillofacial region. Materials and Methods The study was conducted at Command Military Dental Centre (EC) during May 2004 to May 2007. Six serving soldiers and their families (four males, two females), age group ranging between 13 and 56 years, mean age 34.5 years were recruited in this study. The tumors were excised using extra oral, intra oral and combined approaches; no complications were reported during post op period. Results All the cases were operated under GA through extra oral, intra oral and combined approaches with satisfactory results. HPE report was benign in all our cases with no post operative complications reported during follow up. Conclusion Cranio-maxillofacial osteomas are exclusively benign tumors and not very common entities. Proper diagnosis and precision management alleviates symptoms without any post surgical complications. In our series of six cases the tumors were diagnosed and managed as per standard surgical protocol with excellent result.
