osteoma is a benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumor that sometimes arises from the craniomaxillofacial region, such as the sinus, temporal or jaw bones. osteoma consists of compact or cancellous bone that may be peripheral, central or extraskeletal type. peripheral osteoma arises from the periosteum and is commonly a unilateral, pedunculated mushroom-like mass. peripheral osteoma of the mandible...

Although a few cases of osteoma in renal pelvis and urinary bladder have been reported, no cases of osteoma in the testis have been presented. A case of so-called osteoma of the testis incidentally found in a 30-year-old man was presented with discussion for its histogenetic considerations.

A case of choroidal osteoma presenting during pregnancy is reported. The clinical findings are summarised and the features of choroidal osteoma are discussed.

Osteoma is the most common benign tumour of the nose and paranasal sinuses. However, involvement of the sphenoid sinus by osteoma is rare. Most of the time, patients with paranasal sinus osteoma are asymptomatic. However, symptoms may present, depending on the location and extension of the tumour. We report a case of a patient with sphenoethmoidal osteoma found incidentally on imaging, with evi...

Osteoma of external auditory canal is a rare benign tumour. Usually slow growing, found incidentally and often symptomless. Rarely an osteoma may present as a simple aural polyp and may be mistaken as polyps arising secondary to tuberculous,chronic otitis media or carcinoma. The presentation of an osteoma as an aural polyp is extremely rare, and there have been very few reports published Here w...

Background Osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumor arising from the proliferation of cancellous or compact bone. The osteoma can be central, peripheral or of an extraskeletal type. Objective: The purpose of our paper is to present a case of peripheral osteoma of the mandible and to evaluate the diagnosis and management of osteoma of the maxillofacial region with an analysis of the literature. Mate...

BACKGROUND To compare the clinical and radiological features of intra-/juxta-articular osteoid osteoma and extra-articular osteoid osteoma in skeletally immature patients, paying special attention to the skeletal complications. METHODS Osteoid osteoma in 34 children (22 boys and 12 girls, mean age 10.4 years) was dichotomized according to the location of the nidus as intra-/juxta-articular (1...

Choroidal osteoma is an uncommon benign osseous intraocular tumor that typically affects young adult women. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the complications that can develop in eyes with choroidal osteoma. We present a case of CNV secondary to choroidal osteoma treated with intravitreal ranibizumab. A 57-year-old lady presented with painless loss of vision with a right-eye visual ...

Choroidal osteoma is a unique tumor that comprises mature bone in the circumpapillary or macular region.1 Choroidal osteoma showed evolution with change in clinical features over many years, and cases of tumor growth, tumor decalcification or involution, and related choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were documented.1-4 Herein, we present a case of choroidal osteoma with serous retinal detachme...

introduction: osteomas are asymptomatic and rare slow growing bony tumors in temporal bone, and should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of the osteolytic solitary skull lesions. sometimes is associated with pain and functional loss. only a few cases have been reported.   case report: we describe a case of an osteoid osteoma of the temporal bone (mastoid) in a 31-year-old woman pr...
