title: [Osseous tumors of the jaw].
abstract: The osseous tumors of the jaw bones are relatively rare but very oft malignant. This work analyses the different epidemiological, clinical, radiological, histological and therapeutic features of the benign and malignant osseous tumors of the jaw bones, with regard to the most recent literature. The described benign tumors are the osteoma and osteomatosis, the osteoblastoma and osteoid osteoma, the desmo-osteoblastoma and the exostosis. The osteosarcoma is the unique malignant osseous tumor encountered.
