Vol. 42 No 1 (2025): Ostéome périphérique mandibulaire : Rapport de cas et revue de la littérature

Osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor. It preferentially develops in the

craniofacial region but remains a rare tumor. It is often asymptomatic and

discovered incidentally. It can present as a localized bony swelling, causing

aesthetic and functional concerns for patients. 

Understanding clinical and radiological characteristics and treatment is essential to ensure appropriate and effective management. There are some clear differences that allow for the differentiation between osteoma and mandibular osteoid osteoma.

While the prognosis for mandibular osteoma is generally favorable, awareness of this condition is crucial for timely diagnosis and management, particularly to

differentiate it from more aggressive lesions of the jaw.
