Postaural osteoma: A rare case report
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Osteomas are benign slow-growing tumour predominantly occurring in long bones,rarely found in the skull. In the skull they are found most commonly in fronto-ethmoid region,they are very rarely found in the temporal bone and over the mastoid region. They very rarely extend into sigmoid sinus.They are usually asymptomatic and treated mainly for cosmetic purposes. In this rare case report, we are presenting a case of recurrent osteoma in mastoid region with sigmoid sinus extension causing cosmetic deformity and treatment of this lesion. As osteoma of the mastoid bone that too with sigmoid sinus extension is very rare lesion in otology practice, we believe that this report will be of interest to otolaryngologists when dealing with temporal bone osteomas.
