Rodriguez Y Baena R, Rizzo S, Fiandrino G, Lupi S, Galioto S.
AI summary — for doctors, generated from the abstract only
A mandibular peripheral osteoma developed at the site of a sports injury 15 years earlier and was removed surgically without complications.
What was studied
A case report and literature review of a post-traumatic peripheral osteoma of the mandibular buccal plate.
Key findings
- Osteomas rarely occur in the jaws outside the maxillary sinuses
- Lesion arose where trauma occurred 15 years earlier
- Conventional and 3D imaging aided diagnosis and planning
- Surgical removal with complete recovery; histology confirmed osteoma
Clinical relevance
Supports trauma as a possible etiologic factor; single case.
Who should care
Limitations
Single case report.
Past trauma may contribute to osteoma formation in the jaw.

Abstract
An osteoma is a slow-growing, benign lesion comprising mature bone tissue. Osteomas rarely occur in maxillary bones, with the exception of the maxillary sinuses. Various possible etiologies have been proposed, including congenital anomalies, chronic inflammation, muscular activity, embryogenetic changes, and trauma. Here we present a case of an osteoma of the buccal plate of the mandible at the site where a sports-related traumatic injury occurred 15 years earlier. Both conventional and 3-dimensional x-ray examinations were used for diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of the possible involvement of the adjacent anatomic structures. The lesion was treated surgically without complications and the patient made a complete recovery. Histologic tests confirmed the preoperative diagnosis. A review of the international literature is also presented.
