Osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumor arising from the proliferation of cancellous or compact bone. The osteoma can be central, peripheral, or of an extraskeletal type. Peripheral type of osteoma is most common in the lower jaws, which occurs at the surface of the cortical bone and is sessile or pedicled. The overall incidence of osteoma is low, affecting 0.01-0.04% of the population; osteomas comprise 12.1% of benign bone tumors and 2.9% of all bone tumors. Most of the osteomas occurring in the mandible are dense osteomas, and the cancellous osteoma is comparatively rare. Maxillofacial osteoma associated with cutaneous sebaceous cysts, multiple supernumerary teeth, and colorectal polyposis is known as Gardener's syndrome. However, in some cases, maxillofacial osteomas with multiple impacted and supernumerary teeth are not accompanied by a fixed complex of symptoms. We report one such case in a 15-year-old female patient.
骨瘤是一种由松质骨或密质骨增生引起的良性成骨性肿瘤。骨瘤可分为中心型、周围型或骨外型。周围型骨瘤在下颌骨最为常见，发生于皮质骨表面，呈无蒂或有蒂状。骨瘤的总体发病率较低，占人口的0.01 - 0.04%；骨瘤占良性骨肿瘤的12.1%，占所有骨肿瘤的2.9%。发生于下颌骨的骨瘤大多为致密性骨瘤，松质骨瘤相对少见。与皮肤皮脂腺囊肿、多生牙和结肠息肉相关的颌面骨瘤被称为加德纳综合征。然而，在某些情况下，伴有多个埋伏牙和多生牙的颌面骨瘤并不伴有固定的症状组合。我们报告了一名15岁女性患者的此类病例。
