Abstract
Osteomas are benign osteogenic lesions with very slow growth, which may arises from proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone. These lesions are uncommon in jaw. A 49-year-old female patient reported to our department with a complaint of painless swelling in inner gum of lower right back teeth region since 20 years. A well-defined radiopaque lesion was evident in occlusal radiograph. In this case report, we discuss about diagnosis and the possible treatment modality of this entity.
Keywords: Benign tumor, osteoma.
