title: Sclerotic mandibular bone lesion.
abstract: A case of a sclerotic mandibular bone lesion interpreted as a true osteoma has been described, along with the differential diagnosis and treatment. Because the radiographic appearance is not specific for any one lesion, microscopic examination is essential to establish the definitive diagnosis.
