Osteomas are a benign neoplasm. In facial region are very rare and just some few articles relating this type of tumour are found in the scientific literature. Most osteomas of the maxillofacial region occur in the mandible. Our article presents two rare cases of osteomas, one case located in the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and the other one in the zygomatic arch. These two cases are very important for diagnosis and treatment planning of bone tumours, because it shows the variable characteristics and the possible auto limited development of the tumour. Thus, the treatment can be, in some cases, totally conservative if there is no compromise of important structures, function or facial aesthetic.
