K Bessho, K Murakami, T Iizuka

    International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    |June 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    A peripheral osteoma was found in the mandibular ramus of a 26-year-old man. This rare bone tumor presented as a globular mass, confirmed by clinical and histopathological analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Osteomas are benign bone tumors, typically occurring in the craniofacial region.
    • Peripheral osteomas are less common than central or enostoses, often presenting as asymptomatic masses.
    • The mandibular ramus is a rare site for peripheral osteoma development.

    Observation:

    • A 26-year-old male presented with a peripheral osteoma.
    • Radiographic imaging revealed a pedunculated, globular, radiopaque mass near the right mandibular ramus notch.
    • Histopathological examination demonstrated a lamellar bone structure.

    Findings:

    • Scanning electron microscopy revealed wide trabeculae, narrow interstitial spaces, and numerous fibrovascular channels.
    • The observed features were characteristic of a compact osteoma.
    • The case highlights the importance of integrating clinical, radiographic, and histopathological data for diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of peripheral osteoma presentation in the mandibular ramus.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to rule out other pathologies.
    • Further research into the etiology and specific characteristics of peripheral osteomas in this location may be warranted.
