The osteomas are a group of slow growth, progressive and asymptomatic benign lesions (except for its size affect adjacent structures), these lesions are located in the skull and facial bones, of unclear etiology, they can appear at any age without genre predilection. They can be found alone or can be multiple, frequently associated Gardner Syndrome. To make a correct diagnostic requires clinical, imaging and histopathological assessment. Treatment depends on the aesthetic or functional problems that may cause, consisting in surgical removal and styling ostheotomy. The purpose of this report is to present two patient cases of different genre and age, attending la Stomathology and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the Hospital Clinicas (La Paz-Bolivia) with multiple osteomas at craniomaxillofacial region, without clinical manifestations when intestinal and cutaneous evidence therefore states that it is not associated with Gardner syndrome; time evolution, infrequently reported multiple injuries in our country, esthetic and functional alteration due to the large size reached, requiring surgical intervention for resolution, leads to the presentation of these cases.

Keywords : Osteoma; osteogenesis; Gardner syndrome.
