n.
a benign bone tumour. A cancellous osteoma (exostosis) is an outgrowth from the end of a long bone, usually rising to a point. A compact osteoma (ivory tumour) is usually harmless but it may rarely compress surrounding structures, as within the skull. An osteoid osteoma is an overgrowth of bone-forming cells, usually causing pain in the middle of a long bone. Compact and osteoid osteomas are treated by surgical excision.
