Osteoma

Osteomas are benign mature bony growths, seen almost exclusively in bones formed in membrane (e.g. the skull). 
 
These lesions are benign, slow growing, and usually asymptomatic. They may be incidentally identified as a mass in the skull or mandible, or as the underlying cause of sinusitis or mucocele formation within the paranasal sinuses. When they are multiple, Gardner syndrome should be considered.
