1. osteoma

   Osteoma is a benign, tumor-like growth or lesion composed of mature compact or mature cancellous bone that develops in the areas of the skull, sinuses or other bones in the body. It typically grows slowly and can cause pain or discomfort if it presses on nerves or other structures. It is usually discovered incidentally during radiological examination for another condition.

1. Osteoma

   An osteoma is a new piece of bone usually growing on another piece of bone, typically the skull. It is a benign tumor. When the bone tumor grows on other bone it is known as "homoplastic osteoma"; when it grows on other tissue it is called "heteroplastic osteoma". Osteoma represents the most common benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The cause of osteomata is uncertain, but commonly accepted theories propose embryologic, traumatic, or infectious causes. Osteomata are also found in Gardner's syndrome. Larger craniofacial osteomata may cause facial pain, headache, and infection due to obstructed nasofrontal ducts. Often, craniofacial osteoma presents itself through ocular signs and symptoms.
