Abstract Osteomas are uncommon tumors of mature compact or cancellous bones that account for approximately 1% of all primary bone tumors. They have not been reported with malignant transformation and recurrence is extremely rare. This pictorial essay presents the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings of an unusual case of recurring peripheral osteoma of the body of mandible, mimicking an osteoblastoma. More so than histology, the radiographic and three-dimensional visualization of this entity elucidated the diagnostic dilemma in this case. This paper also gives an insight to its differential diagnosis. Top Keywords Peripheral osteoma, Osteoblastoma, Mixed radiolucent radiopacity, CBCT, Maxillofacial bone tumors, Benign bone tumors.
