- Abstract
Introduction: Osteoid osteoma is a benign skeletal neoplasm that occurs most commonly in young individuals. The tumor occurs mostly in long bones like femur and tibia. However, the jaw bones can be involved though rarely. Aim: Objective of this study is to present the features of osteoid osteoma of mandibular condyle in a 33-year-old male patient. Materials and methods: 0.3 µ thick sections were obtained from paraffin-embedded tissues of the representative tissue that had been processed and stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin stains, and these stained sections were assessed histopathologically. Management: Amputation of the condyle was performed under general anesthesia. Conclusion: Osteoid osteoma represents the third most common benign neoplasm of bone and its diagnosis remains difficult, as generally the clinical and radiographic findings are not characteristic. Computed tomography (CT) imaging along with classic histopathologic findings helps in the early diagnosis of this lesion.
