Mastoid osteoma : report of a rare case

Abstract EN

Mastoid osteoma is a rare tumour with incidence of 0.1–1% of all benign head and neck tumours.

It usually presents as a slow growing, hard and painless posterior auricular swelling in which medical attention is sought most commonly on cosmetic grounds.

This report discusses our finding of such a rare case that was managed in our department and from its presentation, clinical findings, differential diagnosis, and treatment aspects.
