This paper describes two cases of Periostitis ossificans, one a nine-year-old girl and the other aneleven-year-old boy who presented with a bony hard swelling of the lower jaw. Both of them had an associated decayed permanent mandibular molar tooth. Occlusal radiograph revealed the pathognomonic onion skin appearance.
