Massive ossifying fibroma of the temporal bone

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1990 Sep;103(3):480-3. doi: 10.1177/019459989010300324.

Abstract

Ossifying fibromata are rare lesions of the temporal bone. Because the tumors tend to progress and can become clinically massive, early complete resection is advised whenever feasible to prevent clinically evident recurrences and potentially life-threatening complications.
