Abstract
Osteoma is benign neoplasm with slow growth characterized by deposition of compact lamellar cortical or cancellous bone creating a tumour mass. It is still unclear whether osteomas are benign neoplasms or hamartomas. They have typical clinical presentations and are easily diagnosed with the help of radiographs. We present a rare case of non-syndromic multiple osteomas in the craniofacial region which are typically restricted to the midline and presents radiographically as craniofacial fibrous dysplasia causing a diagnostic dilemma.Entities:
