Osteoma in mandibular subcondylar region: case report

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor, first described by Bergstand in 1930. It can involve every bone but is more common in long bones of lower extremities and rarely occurs in the jaw. A 14-year-old male patient complained of increased volume in the left preauricular region and had a history of condylectomy surgery in the region 3 months before the first evaluation. He presented a computed tomography report prior to the surgical procedure compatible with a nodular lesion with an exophytic ossified aspect and without cleavage plans, with the mandibular condylar process, occupying a parotid region, of approximately 21  × 16 mm.
