“…These include trauma, infection, inflammation, low-grade irritation from adjacent blood vessels, hormonal or genetic factors, or contact by sites of distinct embryological origins [8,[18][19][20]. The female to male ratio found in our literature review was 4:1, suggestive of hormonal influences on underlying bone [8].…”

“…However, traumatic, infectious, and developmental origins have been proposed. 7 Osteomas are usually solitary lesions. Multiple osteomas should raise a suspicion of Gardner Syndrome.…”

We present a 14-year-old male patient who had progressive exophthalmos and deformity in the frontoorbital region of 5 months' duration. Neurologic examination of the patient revealed limitation in upward gaze. A Waters' view X-ray revealed a dense osseous mass located in the right frontal sinus and orbit. Computed tomography revealed a bony mass extending to the right frontal sinus, orbital space, anterior ethmoid sinus, and frontal lobe. The frontal process of the maxilla, nasal bone, and crista galli were also involved. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated heterogeneous signal intensities in the medial part of the lesion, while the lateral part showed no signal from dense osseous tissue. The entire osseous mass was excised. Pathological investigation of the specimen revealed a mixed-type osteoma.

“…Sim ilarly, an infective or in¯am m atory stim ulus has been suggested; however, once again, no convincing history of such an event is found in the m ajority of cases. 8 M iller et al 9 suggested that osteom as arise along sites of contact between tissues of different em bryologic origin. This does not explain the w ith the advent of high quality T 2-weighted fast spin echo M RI scanning even small bony lesions are likely to be identi® ed through their displacement of soft tissue structures, as in the case we present here.…”
