Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive overview of benign non-odontogenic pathologies. Bone-derived lesions like osteoma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, and osteochondroma are discussed in detail, emphasizing their radiographic features, locations, and treatment strategies. Cartilage-derived lesions such as chondroma, chondroblastoma, and chondromyxoid fibroma are also examined, noting their typical presentation and management approaches. The article then delves into fibroconnective tissue lesions. Mesenchymal and vascular lesions are detailed regarding their clinical and radiographic characteristics and treatment options. Lastly, nerve-derived lesions like schwannoma and neurofibroma are covered, providing insights into their association with diseases like neurofibromatosis and preferred management strategies.

Keywords: Bone-derived lesions; Cartilage-derived lesions; Fibroconnective tissue lesions; Mesenchymal tissue lesions; Nerve-derived lesions; Radiographic features; Surgical management; Vascular tissue lesions.
