Overview
If left untreated, osteoma progression occurs slowly and is then followed by facial distortion. Osteoma is an benign tumor characterized by a very slow progression. Complications of osteoma are usually related to tumor size. The prognosis is regarded as excellent after surgical excision. Features associated with worse prognosis after surgery are tumor location, depth, and size.
Natural history
If left untreated, osteoma progression occurs slowly and is then followed by facial distortion. Osteoma is an benign tumor characterized by a very slow progression.
Complications
Complications of osteoma are usually related to tumor size. Common complications include:
Prognosis
Features associated with worse prognosis after surgery depend on tumor location, depth and size. Prognosis related to proximity to essential anatomic structures and completeness of resection.
