Abstract

Osteomas of the maxillofacial region are slow-growing benign lesions of bony origin that usually cause facial asymmetry and dental malocclusion. They arise from the proliferation of either compact or cancellous bone and may occur as solitary or multiple. Multiple maxillofacial osteomas associated with numerous supernumerary teeth that are seen in Gardner's syndrome, which is typically characterized by cutaneous sebaceous cysts and colorectal polyposis. However, depending on their origin, solitary osteomas are further classified as central (endosteal), peripheral, and extra-skeletal types. We have documented a rare case of central maxillary osteoma that presented as a fixed bony enlargement in the right half of the maxilla resulting in significant swelling and airway obstruction.
