“…Osteoma is a benign tumour composed of compact or spongy mature bone that commonly affects the maxillofacial region (paranasal sinuses, temporal bone, sphenoid bone, external auditory canal and mandible). It is diagnosed in other bones rarely [2] [6] [7]. It can appear superficially to the bone (periosteal osteoma), which agrees with the case reported, or is still located in the medullary bone (endosteal osteoma) [1].…”

“…If osteoma is not present in the maxillary sinus, the mandible localization is much more common than in the maxilla. Most commonly, osteoma occur on the body of the mandible and in the area of mandibular angle, but some authors claim that the condyle process is the most common location of this kind of tumour [4], and the dominant symptoms are occlusal imbalance or facial asymmetry. Osteomas create external protuberances (osteoma periostalis, exostosis) on the surface of the bone, or they appear inside the bone and cause distortion in the maxilla or mandible (osteoma centrale, enostosis).…”
