摘要
This case report highlights a rare occurrence of respiratory distress caused by a peripheral osteoma on the lingual mandibular surface. It underscores the importance for otolaryngologists to consider atypical bone growths in differential diagnoses of dyspnea. The case emphasises the value of CBCT in detecting and managing such uncommon maxillofacial pathologies affecting the upper airway.
