Osteomas are benign slow-growing osteogenic lesions of unknown aetiology which can be central, peripheral or extraskeletal. Peripheral osteomas of the are very uncommon. We report a 72-year-old female patient who presented to the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental School of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 2015 with swelling of the palate following a tooth extraction. Clinical and radiographical features were indicative of a solitary peripheral osteoma of the hard palate. An excisional biopsy and histological examination of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis. No complications occurred during the postoperative period and there was no evidence of recurrence at a one-year follow-up.
骨瘤是病因不明的良性、生长缓慢的成骨性病变，可分为中心型、外周型或骨外型。外周骨瘤非常罕见。我们报告一例72岁女性患者，2015年因拔牙后腭部肿胀就诊于希腊雅典雅典牙科学院口腔颌面外科。临床和影像学特征提示为硬腭孤立性外周骨瘤。对该病变进行切除活检及组织学检查确诊。术后无并发症发生，随访一年无复发迹象。
