Abstract
Osteomas are solitary, benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumors that sometimes involve the craniofacial region, such as the paranasal sinuses, temporal bone, or jaw bones. They can be classified as central and peripheral osteomas. The peripheral osteoma of the mandible is relatively uncommon. Though most of the cases involving the mandible arise from the mandibular body, angle, condyle head, or coronoid process, we report one such case unusually arising from the anterior surface of the neck of the condyle, the pterygoid fovea region. We believe it is the first recorded case of an osteoma arising from the pterygoid fovea region.
