Abstract

Osteoma is a slow growing benign mesenchymal osteoblastic tumor formed by mature bone tissue. The most common site reported is the fronto-ethmoidal region and neighboring sinuses. Involvement of the temporal and occipital squama is extremely rare. Like giant osteomas in other locations of the skull, they can reach large volumes but are essentially benign and potentially curable by excision. The author presents a case of giant osteoma in Temporo-Parieto-Occipital region in a teenage girl.
