title: [Mastoid osteoma].
abstract: The osteomas of the mastoids are slow growing benign tumors, made predominantly of mature bone. Clinically these tumors are asymptomatic, except for cosmetic deformities, and they are usually casual radiological findings. Surgical treatment is indicated for symptomatic osteomas. In Spain only sixteen cases of extracanalicular osteoma have been described in the literature. Two new cases are reported and a review of the literature is presented.
