Introduction

Osteoma is a benign neoplasm of bone tissue characterised by very slow, continuous growth.^1-3  In the facial bones, both central and peripheral osteomas have been described.^2,3  The peripheral osteoma of the mandible is uncommon.^2,4  It is a circumscribed, slow drawing hard mass usually located on the mandible producing an obvious asymmetry that is generally asymptomatic.^3-6  There are a few cases that are not related to Gardner’s syndrome in the literature.¹  This report includes two new cases of peripheral osteoma of the mandible and presents the pathogenesis of peripheral osteoma in the context of the current literature.
