Abstract Background Osteomas are benign slow-growing tumors, which typically arise on the surface of bone. They rarely from temporal bone, accounting for 0.1–1% all tumors skull. The external auditory canal (EAC) is most common site osteomas in Other extra-canalicular bone uncommon and infrequently reported. In this case report, we discuss clinical presentation surgical management osteoma squam...

The treatment of uncomplicated osteoma consists of an en bloc resection, or curettage, of the tumor, followed by cranioplasty. Here, we present a case report of a patient treated for a parietal osteoma, followed by a calcium phosphate cranioplasty, with early resorption after 3 months, which was presented by a sinking flap above the resection area. This case suggests that synthetic cranioplasty...

Osteoid osteoma of the scapula is a rare benign lesion. This is a case report of a subchondral osteoid osteoma that involved the anterior rim of glenoid. Surgical approach in this atypical area may seem difficult. The excision of the lesion and grafting was performed by a deltopectoral approach. One year after the surgery, the patient remains pain free and has full range of motion with no recur...

conclusions to our knowledge in the literature up to now there are only nine reports of coracoid osteoid osteoma. these cases were treated with different approaches and different techniques. we used en-bloc resection via mini-anterior approach. our patient 30 months after surgery (october 2012) have full range of motion and became pain free since wound healing with normal control imaging.defini...

  Background : The hand and wrist bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteoma, and its diagnosis can be difficult. This paper reports 25 cases of osteoid osteoma in the hand and wrist.   Methods : Records of the 25 patients who had pathological conditions of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist were reviewed and analyzed.   Results : Twenty-five cases of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wris...

Osteoma is an uncommon bone tumor in avian species and other animals. A 2-year-old male canary (Serinus canaria) with a history of an oval mass in the left wing for several months was examined. Radiographs showed a radio-opaque mass. Upon the bird’s owner request, the canary was euthanatized and submitted for necropsy. The histopathologic examination revealed numerous trabeculae consis...

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumour that mostly affects males in the second and third decade of their life. The lesion mainly occurs in long bones, usually in the femur and tibia, causing severe localized pain that is worse at night and responds to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Diagnosis is usually made on the basis of history and radiographic findings. However, in more unu...

Paranasal sinus osteomas are benign osteogenic lesions, often diagnosed incidentally on computed tomography (CT). Their etiology is unknown, and they most commonly involve the frontal and ethmoid sinus. We present an exceedingly rare localization of osteoma within the cavity of a concha bullosa of the middle turbinate in a 38-year-old woman with frontal headaches and right-sided facial pain. Th...

Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) is an important cause of complaint in adolescents which can suggest many possible diseases. Scientific literature concerning this complex symptom is wide and diversified. We report a rare case of patellar osteoid osteoma which affected a thirteen-year-old female who had suffered from anterior left knee pain for almost six months. The diagnosis was suspected from an accu...

Osteoma is a benign slow growing osteogenic lesion, composed of well-differentiated mature bone tissue, characterized by the proliferation of compact or cancellous bone, almost exclusively found in the head and neck region. Central, peripheral and extra skeletal are the three variants of osteoma. Trauma, inflammation, developmental disorders and genetic defects are considered as the etiologic f...
