Osteomas are benign osteogenic tumors that are seen in the facial bones, but uncommonly in the mandible. In the facial bones, both central and peripheral osteomas have been described. Peripheral osteomas have been described to occur in the frontal, ethmoid, and maxillary sinuses but are not common in jawbones. When in the mandible, they are usually found over the angle and inferior border of the mandible. We report on a solitary peripheral osteoma located unusually in the sigmoid notch of the left mandible causing facial asymmetry.
骨瘤是一种良性成骨性肿瘤,常见于面骨,但在下颌骨中较为罕见。在面骨中,已描述了中央型和周围型骨瘤。周围型骨瘤已被描述发生于额窦、筛窦和上颌窦,但在颌骨中并不常见。当下颌骨出现骨瘤时,通常位于下颌角和下颌下缘。我们报告了一例罕见的孤立性周围型骨瘤,位于左下颌骨乙状切迹,导致面部不对称。
