Temporal bone osteomas comprise 0.1-1% of benign tumors involving the skull, the majority of which arise in the external auditory canal. More rarely, they can arise from the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. These generally present as a slow growing skull base lesion that can cause cosmetic deformity, headache, and/or hearing loss. Here, we report a case of extracanalicular mastoid osteoma uniquely presenting with posterior fossa and cerebellar compression with associated dizziness and imbalance.
