A case report of osteoid osteoma in bone marrow of mandible

Abstract

The intrabony lesions of the jawbones are rare pathological situations conditions and their approach requires special knowledge and experience. Osteoid osteoma is a benign lesion of the bones, which is rare in the jawbones, increases slowly and its bigger size reaches roughly 2cm. It is more often developed in the cortical bone, but subperiosteal and rarely intramarrow cases have been reported. The pathogenesis of osteoid osteoma pathogenesis is unknown. Due to the small size of the lesion some authors support, that it is not a tumor but a lesion of vascular etiology. The case report is about a 37 year old female, with radiographical osteosclerotic marks in the bone marrow and pain in the region of 46 after its extraction, due to previous failure of a root canal treatment which was performed two years ago and the continuation of the symptoms.
