Noun. 1. osteitis-inflammation of a bone as a consequence of infection or trauma or degeneration. osteitis deformans, Paget's disease-a disease of bone occurring in the middle aged and elderly; excessive bone destruction sometimes leading to bone pain and fractures and skeletal deformities.
An osteoma is a new piece of bone usually growing on another piece of bone, typically the skull. It is a benign tumor. When the bone tumor grows on other bone it is known as âhomoplastic osteomaâ; when it grows on other tissue it is called âheteroplastic osteomaâ. Osteoma represents the most common benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The cause of osteomata is uncertain, but commonly accepted theories propose embryologic, traumatic, or infectious causes.
