Osteomas are the slow growing benign tumours of the lamellar bones. They are the most common benign neoplasm of nose and paranasal sinuses. But osteomas of the temporal bone are rare and that of the zygomatic process are very very rare. In this case, we present a 38 years old female patient with osteoma of the zygmatic process of the left temporal bone. The osteoma was excised under General anaesthesia and the excised specimen was send for histopathology examination. The report came out to be osteoid osteoma. In this article, we present the incidence and clinicopathological features of osteoma.
