Osteoma of the mastoid is a rare, slow-growing and benign tumour. Normally it is asymptomatic, although it may cause cosmetic deformities most of the time. A case of osteoma of the mastoid in a 15 years old boy is reported here. Surgical removal was done for the cosmetic deformity. There was no recurrence during the two years follow-up period.
