Zusammenfassung:A case of peripheral osteoma occurring in the mandibular ramus in a 26-year-old man is reported. Radiographic examination revealed a pedunculated, protruding globular, bone-like opaque mass around the notch of the right mandibular ramus. Histopathological examination showed a lamellar bone structure with irregular arrangement. Wide trabeculae, narrow interstitial areas, and many fibrovascular channels were detected by scanning electron microscopy. Thus, characteristic findings of a compact osteoma were obtained clinically and histopathologically.
