Objective: Osteoma of mastoid bone is a rare benign osteogenic tumor of the temporal bone. These are common in the frontoethmoid region and very rare in the temporal bone in which the external auditory canal is the predominant location. Extra-canalicular osteomas of the temporal bone can present in the mastoid, squamous part of the temporal bone, internal auditory meatus and the middle ear. Only 150 cases were reported between 1861 and 2015. More reporting of such cases can be helpful in formulating the guidelines for the treatment of Mastoid osteoma. We report one such case.
