Superior Thyroid Cornu Osteoma Presented as a Neck Mass

Abstract

Osteomas are benign and generally slow-growing, consisting of densely sclerotic and well-defined bones that are typically located in the skull and facial bones. We present a 19-year-old female patient with a painless lump on one side of the neck. Computed tomography was performed with a report of tumor growth in the thyroid cartilage. The patient underwent an external neck approach for excision of the tumor and the histopathological diagnosis confirmed the diagnosis of osteoma. Thyroid cartilage osteomas should be taken into consideration when dealing with a patient presenting with a neck mass. © 2023 Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor ORL Gelaat en Halschirugie.
