Its occurrence in the craniomaxillofacial region as also rare and represents only 15% of all osteoblastomas. The tumor shows a predilection for the male gender and constitutes less than 1% of all tumors of the maxillofacial region. In the maxillofacial region, the mandible is affected more frequently than the maxilla, and the coronoid process of the mandible is the area most rarely affected by osteoblastoma. Before this report, 53 cases have been reported in the literature. In this report, a rare location of osteoblastoma, namely, the coronoid process of the mandible, is described.
