| Summary: | Mastoid osteomas are very rare and defined as benign masses growing gradually in size. Temporal bone computed tomography is the examination of choice for their diagnosis and differentiation. Surgical resection is used to treat mastoid osteomas causing cosmetic deformity. Prognosis is good in cosmetic and curative aspects, and recurrences are very rare. No case of malign transformation has been reported. In this study, an adult patient who was treated because of a mastoid osteoma is presented with review of the current literature. |
