“…Their causes include trauma, previous surgery, radiotherapy, chronic infection and hormonal factors with dysfunction in the hypophyseal gland 1 2. The most common site of temporal bone osteomas are the external auditory canal, followed by mastoid bone and, least commonly, the middle ear 3. There has only been one other case of an osteoma arising from the otic capsule/inner ear reported in the literature apart from this case report 4…”

Temporal bone osteoma is an unusual pathology which can occur by birth or can be acquired and mostly involves the tympanomastoid segment of the temporal bone. Osteomas arising from the otic capsule are extremely rare, and there has been only one other report of a lateral semicircular canal osteoma in the literature. We report a similar case of an acquired lateral canal osteoma which presented as a chronic postaural fistula in an ear previously operated for paediatric cholesteatoma.

Objective: The postauricular region (PR) is an anatomic area that has been neglected until now, due to the fact that the significant cosmetic changes and features of this region are often overlooked. There are limited and inconsistent data about postauricular masses in the literature and the definition of the PR and its borders remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to define the PR and evaluate benign and malignant masses that may arise in the PR. Methods: Fifty-two patients were enrolled in the study. The patients were evaluated retrospectively in terms of demographic data, including age, gender, operative method, lesion side and size, diagnostic tools, and histopathologic diagnosis of the masses. Results: The masses were categorized into 4 groups according to the etiology; neoplastic (n: 15, 28.8%), inflammatory (n: 13, 25%), congenital (n: 22, 42.3%) and traumatic (n: 2, 3.8%). Of the neoplastic masses, 6 (11.5%) were nonmelanoma skin cancer, comprising 4 (7.6%) basal cell carcinomas and 2 (3.8%) squamous cell carcinomas. A total of 9 (17.3%) neoplastic masses were benign, comprising 3 (5.7%) lipomas, 3 (5.7%) temporal bone osteomas, 2 (3.8%) nevi, and 1 (1.9%) plexiform neurofibroma. Of the 13 (25%) inflammatory masses, 12 (23%) were lymph nodes and 1 (1.9%) was pilonidal sinus. There were 22 (42.3%) congenital masses comprising 15 (28.8%) epidermal cysts, 4 (7.6%) dermoid cysts, and 3 (5.7%) hemangiomas. The 2 (3.8%) patients with traumatic lesion were both keloid patients. Conclusion: The PR does not attract attention from the cosmetic point of view but many benign and malignant masses can be found in this region. Any masses detected in this area should be treated to prevent further growth.

Treatment approaches to temporal bone osteomas

Abstract: Physical examination and periodic follow-up is recommended in asymptomatic patients. In symptomatic patients, surgical resection is needed with an appropriate surgical approach based on the location and size of the tumor.
