More than 95% occur in the skull and paranasal sinuses. Occurred in the outer plate of the skull, local hard and painless mass bulge. Occurring in the skull bone or paranasal sinuses, may have corresponding compression symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, etc., osteoma rarely changes. It is equivalent to benign bone tumor and malignant tumor of western medicine.

Osteoma terminology

Osteoma is a tumorous disease whose mass is as hard as a stone, which is close to the bone. It is a benign bone tumor, and it occurs in adolescents.

The relationship between osteoma and western medicine disease name

Osteoma is equivalent to benign bone tumor and malignant tumor of western medicine.

Causes of Osteoma

The disease is mostly due to hyperactivity of deficiency fire, depression of kidney fire; or congenital deficiency, bone loss.

Osteoma Pathogenesis

Due to the desire to hurt the kidney, the hyperactivity of the virtual fire, the long-term depression of the kidney fire, the blockage of blood and blood caused by the kidney's main body is blocked and stagnated; Caused by chronic stasis.

Osteoma clinical diagnosis

Clinical manifestations of osteoma

The mass of osteoma is hard or tough, with a clear state, and the basal part is adhered to the bone, and it is not moved.

(1) The tumor of benign osteoma develops slowly, and can stop growing at a certain age, and generally has no conscious symptoms. If the mass is too large, it will be deformed, or it will compress the adjacent tissues and organs and produce corresponding symptoms. But there is no distant shift.

(2) Malignant tumors grow rapidly, and even form huge lumps, hard and high protrusions. The local skin blue tendons are exposed. In addition to local deformities, severe pain, and dysfunction, there are gradually aggravated systemic symptoms, such as persistent fever, Reduced diet, weight loss, pale complexion, etc. More prone to organ or other metastases.

Osteoma

Occurs in the skull, facial bone, and mandible, generally asymptomatic, and the course of the disease is years or decades; if it occurs in the internal skull plate, it may cause increased intracranial pressure and brain compression symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, and even epilepsy; When the tumor occurs in the outer plate of the skull, it can cause appearance deformities. If it occurs in the mandible, the mouth or nasal cavity often causes the symptoms of compression. Osteoma outside the skull area can sometimes cause malignant changes.

Osteoma auxiliary examination

On X-rays, benign tumors show clear tumor boundaries, a clear boundary line with normal bone tissue, and generally no periosteal reaction. In malignant osteoma, the tumor boundary is unclear, bone destruction, and bone structure disorder.

Dialectical treatment of osteoma

1. Osteoma is small, asymptomatic and does not continue to grow, and can be left untreated.

2. Symptoms and large tumors can be removed by surgery. And for pathological examination.

3. Intracranial plate osteoma patients follow the principle of medication after craniocerebral surgery (such as using dehydrating agents, etc.).

Osteoma other treatments

Surgical treatment: those with benign osteoma gradually increasing, or those with malignant osteoma who did not detect lung metastases in early stage, should be treated with surgery.
