Abstract
- Osteomas are benign neoplasms of bone which usually produce symptoms secondary to pressure on adjacent structures. In the head and neck region, osteomas most commonly arise in fronto-ethmoidal areas. In the temporal bone, the external auditory canal is the favored location, while mastoid is not. This paper reviewed a case of an osteoma of the mastoid with a cosmetic problem.
