Mandibular torus, benign bony growths on the jaw, are typically seen in young males. This case report highlights this rare condition, emphasizing the need for clinical awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Mandibular torus refers to symptomless bony growths (exostoses) on the inner surface of the mandible.
  • This condition predominantly affects young males and generally follows a benign clinical course.
  • The exact causes of mandibular torus are unknown, with potential genetic and environmental factors, including lower jaw anatomy, being investigated.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 40-year-old man presenting with jaw exostoses.
  • The report aims to increase awareness of this condition within German dermatological literature.
  • Differential diagnosis should exclude syndromes like Proteus or Gardner's syndrome, which involve facial exostoses.

Findings:

  • Mandibular torus is characterized by solitary or bilateral, asymptomatic exostoses on the lingual aspect of the mandible.

  • Etiopathology remains unclear, suggesting a multifactorial origin involving genetic predisposition and environmental influences.
  • Clinical exclusion of specific syndromes is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of mandibular torus in dermatological and maxillofacial contexts is warranted.
    • Further research into the etiopathology may elucidate genetic and environmental contributions.
    • Accurate diagnosis ensures appropriate management and exclusion of more serious conditions.
