Abstract
ABSTRACT Osteochondroma is a benign tumor that arises from bone tissue with the presence of cartilage, slow growing, commonly asymptomatic, and can impact structures as the lesion grows. The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of benign maxillary osteochondroma that occurred in a 55-year-old female patient. In the initial clinical examination, no signs and symptoms were found. In imaging studies, a radiopaque lesion was found associated with the buccal bone cortex of the maxilla, above dental element 21, with pedicled insertion and lobulated surface. Due to the particularities of the lesion, surgical excision was proposed. The histopathological examination indicated mature cartilaginous and bone tissue, confirming the suspicion of osteochondroma.
