In the present Maxillary and mandibular exostoses are common localized overgrowths of the bone. They are benign and are thought to be reactive or developmental in origin. These exostoses need to be accurately distinguished from the other more diagnostically significant lesions, notably from the bony osteomas. The aetiology of exostosis has been investigated by different authors, but no consensus has been reached so far. We are reporting a rare case of multiple exostoses of the maxillary and mandibular jaw bones in 68 year old male patient.
