Osteomas are benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumors commonly occurring in the craniofacial bones. Osteomas are characterized by the proliferation of compact and/or cancellous bone. It can be of a central, peripheral, or extraskeletal type. The peripheral type arises from the periosteum and is rarely seen in the mandible. The lingual surface and lower border of the body are the most common locations of these lesions. They are usually asymptomatic and can be discovered in routine clinical and radiographic examination. In this paper, we presented a large solitary peripheral osteoma located in the buccal surface of the left posterior mandible and causing facial deformity in a 37-year-old woman. Radiographic examination by computed tomography revealed radiopacity with a well-circumscribed, pedunculated mass approximately 3 cm in size. The osteoma was removed surgically, and no recurrence has been observed.
骨瘤是一种良性、生长缓慢的成骨性肿瘤，常见于颅面骨。骨瘤的特征是致密骨和/或松质骨的增殖。它可以是中心型、外周型或骨外型。外周型起源于骨膜，在下颌骨中很少见。舌面和体部下缘是这些病变最常见的部位。它们通常无症状，可在常规临床和影像学检查中发现。在本文中，我们报告了一例位于左下颌骨后部颊面的巨大孤立性外周骨瘤，该骨瘤导致一名37岁女性面部畸形。计算机断层扫描的影像学检查显示有一个大小约3厘米、边界清晰、有蒂的不透光肿块。该骨瘤通过手术切除，未观察到复发。
