Osteoblastoma is a rare, benign bone tumor primarily affecting the spine but can occasionally involve the jaws, particularly the mandible. This report discusses the case of a 38-year-old female patient presenting with mild pain and swelling in the left mandibular region for the past few months. Clinical, radiographic, and histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of osteoblastoma. A conservative surgical excision was performed. No recurrence was observed on follow-up. Differential diagnoses included low-grade osteosarcoma, osteoid osteoma, and other bone-forming lesions. This case report emphasizes the importance of distinguishing osteoblastoma from similar lesions to ensure appropriate treatment and favorable prognosis.
