| Abstract;A 71-year-old female presented with a giant osteoma of the right temporal bone and otitis media. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of the giant osteoma. An operation was performed to alleviate the difficult-to-treat otitis media and to address the related cosmetic problem. During the operation, three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) was very helpful in understanding the relationship between the tumor and the peripheral structures. Removal of the tumor improved the patient's otitis media. Osteoma of the temporal bone is rare. Only twenty-one cases of mastoid osteoma have been reported in Japan. In the present study, we review osteomas of the temporal bone and discuss their management. (author abst.) |
