osteoma?
by 3girlsmom, Dec 23, 2007 04:30PM
My 1-year old daughter has a small bump located behind her ear. It's slightly smaller than a marble, feels hard and doesn't seem to bother her at all. Her pediatrician thought at first it was a swollen lymph node or a cycst of some kind. We had a cbc blood work done which shows it's not leukemia. She referred us to an ENT who was pretty convinced that it's an "osteoma", and it's innocent, just something to watch and let him know if it changes at all. He followed up with Children's Hospital and the neurosurgeon and radiologist both agreed with his diagnosis but recommended a ct scan to be sure. We're scheduled for Wednesday at 2pm. I'm quite nervous about it, however everyone seems to be telling us that it is most likely nothing to worry about, since she has absolutely no other symptoms. Just looking for another opinion, hopefully a reassuring one that can get me through the holidays and not worry so much.
Thanks.
Thanks.
