Özet

Osteoma is common in the temporal bone but extremely rare in the middle ear cavity and incus. Computed tomography plays an important role in the diagnosis of this slow growing benign osseous mass. The treatment of this lesion, which usually causes conductive type hearing loss, includes follow-up and surgery according to the patient's condition.
