A peripheral osteoma of the mandible: a case report

Abstract

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion with slow and insidious growth rarely observed in the mandible. We report a new and rarely described localization of a peripheral osteoma of unusual size, while showing the interest of piezosurgery in the conservative excision. This technique is less aggressive without morpho-functional sequelae. However, it is important to perform an adequate maxillofacial examination and a correct radiological reading in order to detect this type of lesion early. The diagnostic certainty is always histological.
