Osteoma

Osteoma is a benign bone tumor. Cancellous osteoma (or exostosis) is a growth at the end of a long tubular bone that usually has an acute angular apex. A compact osteoma (or ivory tumor) is usually a harmless growth, but can sometimes press on surrounding tissue, especially if it is inside the skull. Osteoid osteoma is characterized by excessive proliferation of bone-forming cells; in this case, a person usually begins to be bothered by pain in the diaphysis of a long tubular bone. Compact osteoma and osteoidosteoma are most often removed surgically.

Osteoma is a benign tumor that occurs in the bone. It can come in different types and sizes, but is usually not life-threatening. In this article we will look at the main types of osteomas and their symptoms, as well as treatment methods.

A cancellous osteoma is a bone overgrowth at the end of a long bone. It usually has an acute angular shape and can cause pain when moving. Treatment for cancellous osteoma usually involves surgical removal of the tumor.

Compact osteoma is also a benign formation, but it can compress nearby tissue. Symptoms may include pain and swelling around the tumor. Treatment for compact osteoma also involves surgical removal.

Osteoma is a benign disease in which the formation of a bone tumor occurs. The tumor occurs, in most cases, at the ends of long bones such as the femur or wrist bones and can have an acute-angled or semicircular shape. At
