PERIPHERAL OSTEOMA

Peripheral Osteoma of Palate.

Peripheral Osteoma of Mandible

Most of the head and neck tumors are odontogenic in origin. Non odontogenic tumors of epithelial or mesenchymal origin also form a significant component in this region. The tumors arising from mesenchymal component may originate from various structures like fibrous tissue, adipose tissue, bone and cartilage. Here we report a case of benign tumor originating from bone that is restricted to the c...

Peripheral Osteoma in the Mandibular Angle

Osteoma mostly begins from the compact iliac bone but can be occasionally observed in the maxillofacial region. In the maxillofacial region, osteoma most frequently invades the sinuses, particularly the frontal sinus. It rarely occurs in the mandible [3]. Various pathogenesis of osteoma have been proposed, including the developmental theory, the neoplastic theory, and the reactive theory [4]. M...

Peripheral Osteoma of the Mandibular Notch: Report of a Case

Osteoma is a benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumor that sometimes arises from the craniomaxillofacial region, such as the sinus, temporal or jaw bones. Osteoma consists of compact or cancellous bone that may be peripheral, central or extraskeletal type. Peripheral osteoma arises from the periosteum and is commonly a unilateral, pedunculated mushroom-like mass. Peripheral osteoma of the mandible...

Peripheral osteoma of the maxilla: report of an unusual case.

Peripheral osteomas of the maxilla are relatively rare. A case of a solitary peripheral osteoma of the anterior right maxilla in a 16-year-old girl is presented. The tumor was asymptomatic and was removed via an intraoral approach without any complications. Both hamartomatous and neoplastic factors have been advocated concerning the pathogenesis of such lesions, but no definite conclusion has b...
