Description
Summary:Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon, solitary, osteoid, bone-producing tumor containing a rich vascularized delicate fibrous stroma and active osteoblasts. Benign osteoblastoma is a unique benign bone neoplasm that mostly affects the vertebrae and long tubular bones and rarely affects the maxillofacial skeleton. Many bone-producing lesions have clinical, radiological, and histological features that are similar to osteoblastoma. Benign osteoblastoma manifests clinically as localized swelling of the jaw, presenting as an asymptomatic or a symptomatic lesion, and proper investigations are necessary for accurate diagnosis. It usually manifests in the second and third decades of life predominantly in males. In this report, we present a case of benign osteoblastoma of the mandible in a 39-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by complete surgical excision, and uneventful wound healing was observed during the one-year postoperative follow-up period.
