Abstract
Exostoses of the maxilla and mandible are nodular protuberances of mature b one that need to be accurately distinguished from other more diagnostically significant lesions, notably exosteal osteomas. Multiple dermatofibromas a re rare and may be associated with altered immune function. We report the c ase of an otherwise healthy 47-year-old woman who was first seen with multi ple maxillary and mandibular exostoses associated with multiple dermatofibr omas. This association has not been previously reported.
