Osteoma

Osteoma is more common in bones that form bone inside the membrane, most commonly found in the craniofacial bone, called paraosseous osteoma; occasionally soft tissue is also called extra bone osteoma. Intramembranous osteoma can stop growing as the bone matures, and there is no malignant change, and its prognosis is generally good. However, osteoma of the cervical spine is extremely rare. In addition, multiple osteomas, such as those with intestinal polyposis, are called Garder syndrome, which is hereditary. Osteoma is a benign tumor formed by the abnormal proliferation of bone tissue caused by periosteal osteogenesis. Wills (1953) and Paron (1964) believe that it is not a real tumor, but a hamartoma, and it is also considered to be a bone Tissue abnormal dense proliferation.
