  • Title: [The mastoid osteoma, an incidental feature?].
    Author: Domínguez Pérez AD, Rodríguez Romero R, Domínguez Durán E, Riquelme Montaño P, Alcántara Bernal R, Monreal Rodríguez C.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2011; 62(2):140-3. PubMed ID: 20554264.
    Abstract:
    Osteoma in the mastoid is a rare benign osteogenic tumour that has been described in literature in only 137 cases. It usually appears in asymptomatic patients, although a few cases are described associated with clinical manifestations. We report three cases of mastoid osteoma: a pedunculated osteoma in the aditus ad antrum (associated with a cholesteatoma), a superficial osteoma of the mastoid surface and a sessile osteoma that progressed to the temporal lobe (associated with vertigo). A brief review of this rare entity is presented and a possible association between mastoid osteoma, cholesteatoma otitis and vertigo is posed.
