A patient with a protuberant fibro-osseous lesion of the temporal bone

Abstract

Protuberant fibro-osseous lesion of the temporal bone, otherwise known as Bullough's lesion, is a rare, benign exophytic fibro-osseous tumor. In this brief report, we present a case of a 61-year-old woman with a history of a right-sided skull mass that had been increasing in size for approximately 6 years before presentation. Clinical, radiological and histological features are examined and discussed. We achieved excellent results with surgical resection, with no evidence of recurrence. © 2019 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
