Abstract

 

Osteoma is a benign, slow growing tumour which is most commonly located in the fronto-ethmoid regions, but may also occur in maxillary and sphenoid sinuses, mandible and occasionally arise in temporal bone. Osteoma of the external auditory canal should be differentiated from exostoses. These can produce similar clinical picture. The various differentiating clinical features between osteoma and exostoses of the external auditory canal, the controversies of histological features and management are presented.
