Multiple maxillary and mandibular exostoses associated with multiple dermatofibromas: a case report

S I Chaudhry et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 2000 Mar.

Abstract

Exostoses of the maxilla and mandible are nodular protuberances of mature bone that need to be accurately distinguished from other more diagnostically significant lesions, notably exosteal osteomas. Multiple dermatofibromas are rare and may be associated with altered immune function. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 47-year-old woman who was first seen with multiple maxillary and mandibular exostoses associated with multiple dermatofibromas. This association has not been previously reported.
