| Popis: | Osteomas are benign osteogenic tumours characterised by the proliferation of compact, cancellous or mixed bone. Mandible is an uncommon site for solitary osteoma. Osteomas usually occur as asymptomatic swelling but may cause significant concern due to their size, problem during mastication or even sleep disturbance. Osteomas can be a part of Gardener’s syndrome, which is characterised by the multiple colonic polyposis which have high incidence of malignant degeneration. We report a case of solitary giant osteoma of mandible in 30-year-old male who presented with large swelling of lower jaw since two years. In the present case, osteoma had both extraosseous and intraosseous component that involved lower border and body of the mandible. Excision was done using oscillating saw preserving the alveolar margin of the mandible. Mandibular reinforcement was done with titanium plates. In the present case, syndromic association was ruled out with colonoscopic examination. |
