Long-term follow-up control of pedunculated orbital floor osteoma becoming symptomatic by atypical facial pain.
This report describes the clinical course of a female who developed an osteoma of the orbital floor. Initially, the patient noticed a pain in the left periorbital region, in particular in the region of the lower eyelid and the upper cheek. A radiograph of the midfacial region was taken that depicted a mushroom-like tumor of the orbital floor. The tumor was surgically removed. The follow-up over a period of 13 years revealed no recurrence of the osteoma.
