A member asked:
I have osteoma (benign) i'm curious if the tumor might become malignant, or cause other damages?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nuisance lesion: These have exactly zero malignant potential if the diagnosis is right. If it's on your forehead, it'll be annoying and unsightly. If it's in a nasal sinus, it's probably going to be uncomfortable. That's really about it.
