Abstract

Osteoma (OM) is a benign neoplasm composed of slow-growing cortical and cancellous bone that  progressively  increases  in  size  due  to  the  continuous  formation  of  bone  tissue.  According  to  their site of origin, they are classified as central, peripheral and extraskeletal. Their pathogenesis is unknown and it has been suggested that they may be the result of a reactive mechanism in the face of aggression, trauma, or infection. They affect young adults, with no preference for sex. It is presented  as  a  case  of  a  40-year-old  male  patient  referred  for  presenting  an  increase  in  volume  in  the  lower  border  of  the  left  side  of  the  jaw.  The  study  with  multislice  computed  tomography  revealed a hyperdense image, with defined edges, rounded, located in the left posterior area of the mandibular  body,  presenting  a  density  similar  to  the  adjacent  cortical  bone.  The  image  showed  tomographic signs of OM. The histopathological study confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
