Abstract
Osteomas in the head and neck regions are benign bone neplasms usually found in the frontoethmoid area. Osteomas are usually produce symptoms secondary to pressure on adjacent structures. Although commonly discovered in the external auditory canal of the temporal bone, few cases have been reported in the mastoid or squamous portion of the temporal bone. When located in the mastoid and squamous parts of the temporal bone osteomas can cause cosmetic deformity such as external mass or an auricular protrusion. Other neoplasms of the mastoid region such as osteosarcoma and osteoblastic metastasis should be considered for the differential diagnosis. The authors experienced a case of osteoma that originated from mastoid of temporal bone. We report this rare case and its successful management with a review of the literatures.
