Peripheral Osteoma in the Mandibular Angle

Osteoma is a benign tumor that occurs from the proliferation of cancellous bone, compact bone, or their combination [1]. It can be classified into 3 types, namely, central, peripheral, and extraskeletal osteoma. Central osteoma occurs in the endosteum, peripheral osteoma occurs in the periosteum, and extraskeletal osteoma occurs mostly within muscles [2].
