Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Buccal exostoses are benign, slow-growing bone growths typically found on the maxilla.
  • These masses usually develop in early adulthood and are often asymptomatic.
  • While generally self-limiting, they can occasionally enlarge and contribute to periodontal issues.

Observation:

  • This report details an exceptionally rare instance of a buccal exostosis located on the mandibular angle.
  • The exostosis presented as a broad-based surface mass on the facial aspect of the mandible.
  • The patient's specific presentation and the location of the exostosis were notable.

Findings:

  • The study documents a rare case of buccal exostosis on the mandibular angle.
  • Surgical exploration was performed for diagnosis and management.

  • The findings highlight the variability in the presentation of buccal exostoses.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known anatomical locations for buccal exostoses.
    • Understanding rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in oral surgery.
    • Further research into the etiology and management of atypical buccal exostoses may be warranted.
