“…Till now only one case with recurrence has been reported by Bosshardt et al Both periodic clinical and radiographic follow up after surgical excision of a peripheral osteoma is necessary. Table 1 enlists important publications on similar pathology [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Osteoma is a slow growing benign tumor consisting of well differentiated compact or cancellous bone that increases in size by continuous growth. It can be of a central, peripheral, or extraskeletal type. The peripheral type arises from the periosteum and is rarely seen in mandible. Although completely curable with adequate surgical treatment, osteomas precede the clinical radiographic evidence of colonic polyposis/Gardner's syndrome. Therefore they may be sensitive markers for the disease. Recurrence of peripheral osteoma after surgical excision is extremely rare. However it is appropriate to provide both clinical and radiographic follow up after surgical excision of peripheral osteoma. This article describes the case of a 45 year old male who presented with painless swelling of the right body of mandible and resultant cosmetic facial disfigurement and functional impairment.

“…Conventional radiographic images are generally adequate in diagnosing an osteoma ( 10 , 22 ). Radiographically, the presence of an oval, radiopaque, well-circumscribed mass attached by a broad base or pedicle to the affected cortical bone is a hallmark of peripheral osteomas ( 2 , 6 , 15 ). In addition to panoramic radiograph, Water’s view or tomograms usually helps to reveal the lesion.…”

“…The most commonly affected sites are the mandible and paranasal sinuses in the maxillofacial region ( 3 , 4 , 5 ). Excluding the maxillary sinuses, maxillary osteomas located on the hard palate are very rare ( 6 , 7 ). Their etiology is unknown.…”

“…Osteomas generate symptoms by compression, rather than by invasion or destruction ( 9 , 10 ). Depending upon the location, they might cause headaches, facial pain or swelling, and/or limited mandibular movements ( 6 , 10 ). Osteoma treatment is based on complete surgical removal, and there are no reports of malignant transformation ( 11 , 12 ).…”

Osteomas are benign osteogenic tumors that are composed of cancellous or compact bone. They are usually sessile tumours composed of dense sclerotic, well-formed bone projecting out from the cortical surface. They commonly occur in skull and facial bones, however, excluding the maxillary sinuses, the maxilla is a rare site for osteomas. Therefore, we aim to present a case of maxillary osteoma in a 19-year-old male patient and to provide an overview of current literature on the diagnostic options and treatment modalities. To best of our knowledge, in the English literature, this is the seventh reported case of maxillary osteoma which is located on the hard palate.

“…16 In humans, osteoma is rarely monitored with treatment instituted only after continued growth causes clinical signs. 9,13,14,18 Partial excision may be an option for cases considered nonresectable, however recurrence may be more likely especially for central osteomas. Conservative management is particularly problematic for monitoring central osteoma.…”

Medical records of patients with a histopathological diagnosis of oral osteoma were reviewed for information on signalment, body weight, history, clinical signs, physical examination and diagnostic imaging findings, surgical procedure performed, and histopathologic characteristics. Clinical signs related to the mass were noted in 2 dogs. One mass was documented to have been present for > 3-years, 3 of the masses were noted on physical examination, and 2 masses were noted during professional scaling and survey intraoral radiographs. All six masses had radiographic signs of bone proliferation without bone lysis. One case had radiographic root resorption of adjacent dentition. Four of the masses were classified as central osteoma and 2 were classified as peripheral osteoma based on clinical and radiographic findings. Four masses were treated with excisional biopsy that consisted of wide excision (rostral maxillectomy) [n = 1] and 3 had marginal excisions (en bloc resection) [n = 3]. Two of the masses were debulked with subsequent biopsy. There was no indication of recurrence in the cases with excisional biopsy and minimal progression in the cases that had lesions debulked > 5.5-months following surgery.
