A member asked:
I have an osteoma on my mandible. it looks a little funny, but doesn't bother me. my ent mentioned removing it. is that necessary?

Need to examine: How long have you had the lesion? Is it growing? Was an x-ray examination done? If you know it to be a benign osteoma, you may watch and wait. If the lesion doubles in size, becomes irregular in shape, bleeds, or ulcerates , see a doctor. Wish you good health!
