Abstract
Osteoma is usually a slow growing, asymptomatic benign boney neoplasm that occurs mostcommonly in the paranasal sinuses and the mandible. Osteoma treatment depends on the size
and the location of the lesion and the symptoms it is causing. Treatment options include
surgical excision, debulking, shaving, condylectomy, or no treatment with observation. We are
reporting a case of 56-year-old female who presented with a peripheral osteoma of the base of
the skullof a considerable large sizewith a history of dizziness and tinnitus. However, inthis
case, surgical intervention was not done due to the sensitive anatomical location and the size
of the lesion.
