Osteomas are benign bony lesions that can occur throughout the craniofacial skeleton. Surgical excision can be an effective treatment, as recurrence is relatively uncommon. Outside of incomplete resection, causes of recurrence are poorly documented, especially in the pediatric population. Exchange cranioplasty is an autologous reconstructive surgical option for patients of all ages, and it can be effective in the treatment of large calvarial osteomas. Recurrent lesions of the cranioplasty site have not been well described in the literature, with only 3 documented reports. In this study, we present a unique case of a recurrent osteoma at the site of a prior exchange cranioplasty. The authors also provide a systematic review of the literature for recurrent osteomas and highlight causes and conclusions for these lesions. Utilizing the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of articles published across databases was performed to identify accounts of recurrent osteomas at prior cranioplasty sites. Our systematic review illustrates that recurrent osteomas overlying different cranioplasty biomaterials is a rare entity and is due to incomplete resection of the galea and periosteum during the index procedure. Biomaterial selection for the pediatric population requires careful consideration before reconstruction. Though limited by 3 articles previously published and without a direct link to recurrence, long-term studies are needed to further guide biomaterial selection in the pediatric population to evaluate potential recurrences. |
