Osteochondroma of the temporal styloid process: a common disease in a rare but vulnerable location

Rahul Chaturvedi et al. Clin Imaging. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

Osteochondromas, the most common benign bone tumor, are typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally by imaging. Most frequently, osteochondromas occur at the metaphyses of long bones, and rarely involve the head and neck. We report the first case of a symptomatic osteochondroma of the temporal styloid process causing facial nerve paralysis.

Keywords: Facial nerve paralysis; Osteochondroma; Temporal styloid process.
