Managing Benign Masses of the Forehead.

Benign forehead masses are not uncommon and frequently encountered in the otolaryngology office. The differential diagnosis is broad but most commonly includes osteoma, lipoma, and skin cysts. Although imaging is not typically necessary, it should be considered if there is concern for deeper extension. Management strategies most often involves surgical resection via a direct approach. Endoscopic resection is also an option and can be an appropriate alternative in certain cases.
