Abstract

Osteoma is a benign, slow-growing tumor composed of mature compact or cancellous bone. They originate from the craniomaxillo facial region such as temporal bones, sinuses, maxilla or mandible. Patients with osteomas should be evaluated for Gardner’s syndrome (GS). The treatment for osteoma is surgical excision if the lesion is symptomatic. We present a case of a solitary peripheral osteoma (PO) arising from the superior aspect of ramus of mandible causing facial asymmetry in a 22-yearold man.
