Mandibular ramus osteoblastoma. A case report

A case of osteoblastoma of the mandibular ramus is presented with an over 2 years history and with a single clinical sign,--progressive enlargement of the cheek and parotid region. Investigation into the limited literature regarding these rare cases confirmed the specific findings in our case, i.e. that destruction of the bone cortex by the expansion of the tumour, along with osteogenesis, is not unusual.
