Primary Periorbital Extra-skeletal Osteoma: A Novel Clinical Entity.

Abstract

Osteomas are typically slow-growing benign masses that do not require surgical intervention unless the patient is symptomatic. Orbital osteomas are rare, with fewer than 15 cases of primary orbital osteomas documented in the literature. When present, an osseous connection to the bony orbit is usually noted. The authors present the first report of a primary periorbital extra-skeletal osteoma.
