This case report details a unique, asymmetrical hyperostosis on a young patient's left hemimandible. The lesion, notable for its size and location, was surgically removed, suggesting localized osteoblastic stimulation.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Hyperostosis, a condition causing excessive bone growth, can affect the jaws.
  • Typically, jaw hyperostosis presents as symmetrical and bilateral lesions.

Observation:

  • A rare case of unilateral, asymmetrical medial hemimandibular hyperostosis in a young patient.
  • The lesion was remarkable in size and unique in its unilateral presentation.

Findings:

  • The most probable cause is an unidentified localized stimulation of osteoblastic cells.
  • Surgical excision was performed due to the lesion's significant size.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of hyperostosis presentation in the mandible.
