A 50-year-old woman presented with a 20-year history of a progressively enlarging, firm mass over the right mastoid process and a small mass at the inferior border of the right mandible. There was no associated history of hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, auricular discharge, trauma or facial paralysis. Physical examination revealed a fixed, non-tender 3-cm diameter bony mass arising from the mastoid process. The skin temperature and color, otoscopic examination and a complete audiometric battery were all normal.
