Only seven cases of osteoma arising in the middle turbinate have been reported to date. We report the eighth case, involving osteoma in the middle turbinate of a child. This young boy was initially examined at the age of nine for the main complaint of nasal obstruction. Although a large osteoma with a maximum diameter of 30 mm was observed on computed tomography (CT), the patient was only obser...

Introduction. Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, osteogenic neoplasm. Osteoma of a bone other than the skull and facial bones is extremely rare. An extremely rare case of parosteal osteoma is reported. Case Presentation. A 51-year-old woman presented with a large mass in the left supraclavicular fossa. Radiographs and computed tomography revealed a well-defined, 9 × 6 cm, lobed ...

Osteoid osteoma of the spine is a relatively rare bone-forming tumor. Pain that is worse at night and relieved by aspirin and muscle contracture are the most characteristic symptoms of spinal osteoid osteoma. Although radicular pain occasionally occurs in spinal osteoid osteoma, spinal cord and nerve root compression is absent in most cases. Although radicular pain appears to be associated with...

A 57-year-old man presented with an extremely rare osteoma originating from the left L-5 inferior articular process and causing lumbo-crural sciatica. Postmyelography computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an osteoma compressing the spinal nerve root at the lateral recess. Decompression facetectomy and excision of the lesion followed by transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion ...

Osteomas are the slow growing benign tumours of the lamellar bones. They are the most common benign neoplasm of nose and paranasal sinuses. But osteomas of the temporal bone are rare and that of the zygomatic process are very very rare. In this case, we present a 38 years old female patient with osteoma of the zygmatic process of the left temporal bone. The osteoma was excised under General ana...

Osteoid osteomas of the talus are rarely seen. They can easily be misdiagnosed. In this case report, we present a 21-year-old man with an osteoid osteoma in talar neck whose pain onset coincided ankle injury. The latter was deemed misleading factor when making diagnosis. Eventually, patient treated surgical excision osteoma. gap that resulted after filled autologous bone graft. A year his opera...

We report a case of intraparenchymal pneumocephalus caused by ethmoid sinus osteoma in a 57-year-old man who had suffered from severe allergic rhinitis because of which he had to frequently blow his nose. He was referred to our hospital for headache and mild left hemiparesis. A computed tomography scan revealed a large intraparenchymal air entrapment in the right frontal lobe related to an oste...

Choroidal osteoma is a rare intraocular bony tumor that typically manifests as a yellow-white, well-demarcated mass with geographic pseudopodal margins.1-3 This benign tumor predominantly occurs in the peripapillary or papillomacular region, most often in young women.1,2 Occasionally, choroidal osteoma can simulate an amelanotic choroidal tumor such as melanoma, nevus, or metastasis.1,2 This tu...

Osteoma is a rare, benign lesion wherein deposition of newly formed bone results in tumor mass. Variants osteomas can develop either as peripheral mass arising from the periosteum or central endosteum. Peripheral ones are usually asymptomatic and larger lesions primarily cause facial asymmetry. Central osteoma, most cases cortical expansion root displacement some. pose diagnostic dilemma need t...
