Review
Osteoma is a benign, slow growing lesion that consists of compact or cancellous bone. Three types of osteomas could be classified: the central osteoma arising from the endosteum, the peripheral osteoma from the periosteum, and the extraskeletal soft tissue osteoma. in the craniofacial region, peripheral osteomas of the zygoma are quite rare. A literature review identified 7 cases of zygomatic arch and 3 cases of zygomatic body. This is the first report of zygomatic osteoma that was endoscopically removed. This report presents a rare case of osteoma of the zygoma and its endoscopic approach. The authors were able to confirm that endo-scopic approach of this zygomatic osteoma was safe and effective surgical choice.

Review
Osteomas are rare benign bony tumors located in the tongue area. In most cases, patients presenting with a lingual osteoma are asymptomatic but may complain of the sensation of having a foreign body. Fewer than 100 cases of lingual osteoma have been reported worldwide. Here, we present 2 cases of tongue base osteoma that were treated with excision under a laryngoscope.

Review
Osteoid osteomas consist of a nidus with surrounding sclerotic bone. The differential diagnosis covers a wide range of conditions due to the variable presentation of osteoid osteoma. The natural history is for regression to occur within 6 to 15 years with no treatment; however, this can be reduced to 2 to 3 years with the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous techniques, including trephine excision, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and laser thermocoagulation, are described.

Osteomas of the temporal bone are rare, especially osteomas originating from the mastoid process. Most often occur in women aged 20-30 years. The maximum growth rate is observed during puberty. Usually, the neoplasm becomes an accidental finding on X-rays or CT scans. The clinic of osteoma depends on its location and size. The patient may complain of a cosmetic defect, headache, discomfort and a feeling of heaviness in the area of the neoplasm. In this clinical case, a long-term asymptomatic course of osteoma of the temporal bone is described. CT examination was used for its visualization, and treatment was carried out surgically using a drill.

Review
BACKGROUND
Osteomas are benign lesions of bone, most frequently seen in the paranasal sinuses; however, they are typically asymptomatic and without complication. We report a rare case of large frontal sinus osteoma with intracranial extension, associated with meningitis and the development of seizures.
CASE DESCRIPTION
The patient is a 38-year-old man with a prolonged history of headache and seizures, who was seen by multiple specialists previously, all of whom deferred treatment. After years of worsening seizure activity, he finally underwent surgical resection of the lesion at our institution in a joint operation with neurosurgery and otolaryngology. We examine his course, presentation, and management, and examine the literature for cases of complicated sinus osteomas.
CONCLUSIONS
This represents the fourth reported case of frontal sinus osteoma associated with meningitis. We believe this case demonstrates the value of a robust differential and a multidisciplinary approach.

Review
BACKGROUND
Osteoid osteomas are responsible for 10% of benign bone tumours. Treatment typically involves surgical excision or radio frequency ablation. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate reported cases of foot and ankle osteoid osteomas.
METHODS
We conducted a systematic review of the literature using the online databases Medline and EMBASE. We included studies reporting osteoid osteoma diagnosed either radiologically or histologically.
RESULTS
94 studies were included reporting 223 cases; 70.5% were male, mean age was 23 years, 69% reported night pain and 72% responded to NSAIDs. The commonest affected bone was the talus. CT scan was the most useful radiological investigation and MRI missed the diagnosis in 34% of cases. The majority of patients underwent surgical excision but an increasing trend of ablation therapy was demonstrated.
CONCLUSIONS
A high index of suspicion based on salient history and appropriate imaging are essential for timely identification and treatment.

Review
Osteomas are benign osteogenic neoplasms caused by proliferation of mature compact or cancellous bone. Clinically they may be classified as peripheral, central or extraskeletal. Osteomas usually involve the craniofacial region with mandible being the most common site. Central osteoma of the jaws is a very rare entity with only 13 cases reported in the literature till date of which only five cases occurred in the maxilla. Here we present a case of a large central osteoma of anterior maxilla associated with an impacted tooth, the first of its kind and a review of literature.

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery Sep 2018Subdural osteomas are benign neoplasms that are rarely encountered. We report the case of a 64‑year‑old female patient with a left temporal subdural osteoma. (Review)
Review
BACKGROUND
Subdural osteomas are benign neoplasms that are rarely encountered. We report the case of a 64‑year‑old female patient with a left temporal subdural osteoma.
CASE DESCRIPTION
The patient presented with intermittent dizziness that first began two years earlier. Non-contrast computed tomography revealed a densely calcified left temporal extra-axial mass. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lesion revealed signal loss on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images and non-enhancement on Gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted images, and diffusion-weighted and ADC images demonstrated reduced values attributed to calcium-induced signal loss. Histologically, the lesion predominantly consisted of lamellar bone without bone marrow elements. The patient underwent stereotactic magnetic resonance imaging-guided neurosurgical resection and recovered without complication.
CONCLUSIONS
Subdural osteomas may not be enhanced on magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical tumourectomy can be considered for symptomatic patients with subdural osteomas.

Review
Osteoid osteomas are small painful benign bone tumors that can be effectively treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in most situations. This article briefly reviews the typical imaging findings of osteoid osteomas and the RFA technique used to treat them at our institution. It concludes with several examples of osteoid osteomas in difficult-to-reach places and the approaches used to access and treat them.

Review
The authors present a case of osteoma of the mandible. Osteomas are solitary lesions occurring predominantly in the skull and many authors believe that most osteomas in the maxillofacial areas are reactive bone hyperplasia or advanced ossifications. In some countries the prevalence of the osteoma is about 1% of all patients in the ENT clinics. Malignant transformation has not been described and surgery of the lesion should be conservative and consist essentially of enucleation.
