ABSTRACT
Los osteomas mastoideos son tumores óseos benignos que excepcionalmente aparecen en la mastoides, habiendo sido descritos 137 casos en la literatura actual. Suelen presentarse de un modo asintomático, aunque no siempre es así. Presentamos 3 casos de osteomas mastoideos: un osteoma pediculado con base de implantación en el antro mastoideo y con extensión hacia el canal ático antral, que coexistía con una otitis media colesteatomatosa, un osteoma mastoideo superficial asintomático y un osteoma sesil dependiente de la tabla interna de la escama del hueso temporal, en una paciente con un cuadro vertiginoso. Hacemos una revisión de esta rara entidad, y planteamos una posible asociación entre el osteoma mastoideo, el síndrome vertiginoso y la otitis media colesteatomatosa (AU)
Osteoma in the mastoid is a rare benign osteogenic tumour that has been described in literature in only 137 cases. It usually appears in asymptomatic patients, although a few cases are described associated with clinical manifestations. We report three cases of mastoid osteoma: a pedunculated osteoma in the aditus ad antrum (associated with a cholesteatoma), a superficial osteoma of the mastoid surface and a sessile osteoma that progressed to the temporal lobe (associated with vertigo). A brief review of this rare entity is presented and a possible association between mastoid osteoma, cholesteatoma otitis and vertigo is posed (AU)
