    Osteoblastoma of the mandibular ramus is a rare tumor. This case highlights its progressive cheek enlargement and bone cortex destruction with osteogenesis, confirming it

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Osteoblastoma is a rare, benign bone tumor, typically affecting long bones and the spine.
    • Mandibular osteoblastomas are exceptionally rare, presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • This report details a unique case of osteoblastoma in the mandibular ramus.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a 2-year history of progressive cheek and parotid region enlargement.
    • Clinical examination revealed a unilateral swelling indicative of a growing mass.
    • Radiographic and histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of osteoblastoma.

    Findings:

    • The mandibular osteoblastoma demonstrated significant bone cortex destruction due to tumor expansion.

  • Evidence of concurrent osteogenesis within the tumor was observed.
  • These findings align with the limited literature on mandibular osteoblastomas, suggesting these features are not unusual for this rare entity.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare tumors in the differential diagnosis of facial swellings.
    • Understanding the growth patterns, including bone destruction and osteogenesis, aids in accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
    • Further research into rare mandibular tumors is warranted to improve patient outcomes.
