| Abstract | Osteomas are relatively rare benign osteogenic neoplasms, characterized by the proliferation of compact and/or cancellous bone. Osteomas can develop as peripheral (periosteal) masses attached to the cortical plates or as central lesions arising from endosteal bone surfaces. Although multiple osteomas of the jaws are a hallmark of Gardner syndrome (familial adenomatous polyposis), nonsyndromic cases are typically solitary. A search of the literature identified 91 well documented cases of solitary osteoma of the jaws published since 1955: 93.4% were peripheral and only 6.6% central, a ratio of 14:1 in favor of peripheral osteomas. Solitary central osteomas of the jaws seem to be very rare, with only 6 such cases reported since 1955. Adding the 4 new cases described here brings the total to 10 central osteomas, 30% occurring in the maxilla and 70% in the mandible. Whereas peripheral osteomas are fairly easy to diagnose, central osteomas pose a more challenging diagnostic problem and need to be differentiated from other similar lesions of the jaws, such as central ossifying fibroma, condensing osteitis, idiopathic osteosclerosis, osteoblastoma, cementoblastoma, and complex odontoma. With such a low number of cases of central osteoma reported, the objectives of the present report are to describe 4 new cases, analyze the clinical and radiographic characteristics, and discuss the features which distinguish these lesions from other similar lesions of the jaws. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
