RODRIGUEZ-ALVAREZ, Osbel Reyder; VILLEGAS-MAESTRE, José Daniel  e  CAMEJO-LABANINO, Rosana. Peripheral osteoma of unusual mandibular location. Case report. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2021, vol.100, n.2  Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 1028-9933.

A 40-year-old female patient came to the consultation due to an increase in volume in the left parotid region. Orthopantomography and simple anteroposterior and lateral skull radiographies were performed, revealing the presence of a radiolucent image in the lateral region of the left mandibular side. The clinical diagnosis at this point was of peripheral osteoma, for which a total surgical removal of the lesion was performed. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral osteoma. An osteoma is a rare benign neoplasm of bone tissue, and is rarely found isolated in the mandible. Postoperative complications were not diagnosed and the patient was satisfied with the dental care provided.
