Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Osteomas: Osteomas are common benign boney growths that can occur on the skull. Ct ; MRI should show something. There are other bone growths that can occur, but malignant things are very rare. Removal is not always necessary, but you should discuss with your doctor. Sometimes this is handled by ENT surgeon and sometimes by neurosurgeon.
