Solitary Osteoma in the Angle of the Mandible: A Case Report

Although osteomas are relatively common in craniofacial bones, the occurrence of a solitary osteoma is relatively more common in the mandible and is rare in the maxilla. Hereby, the authors highlight the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of a solitary osteoma in the left angle of the mandible of a 60-year-old male patient, followed by surgical management and a review of the literature. The purpose of present article was to present the clinical, radiographic, and surgical features of a solitary peripheral mandibular osteoma in a 60-year-old male patient and to contribute to the evidence of their prevalence.
