ABSTRACT
A rare case is reported of an osteoma protruding into the pterygomandibular space from the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone. The procedure of the diagnosis and treatment is described. In this case, computed tomography (CT) was the most useful in making a differential diagnosis. That the pulling force of the medial pterygoid muscle might be a causative agent in the growth of this osteoma is considered.
