Congenital (in growing) osteoma skull in 20-day-old neonate

Abstract

Osteomas are most common benign, slow growing bone-forming tumors of the skull. These bony outgrowths develop from membranous bones, composed of compact or trabecular bone limited exclusively to craniofacial bones, especially of paranasal sinuses. Congenital in growing osteomas presenting in neonates is extremely rare. Authors did not come across any case of congenital osteoma reported in the literature.
