A 3-year-old spayed female German Shepherd dog was presented for investigation andtreatmentofafirmslowgrowingmassovertherightsurfaceoftheskull.Computedtomography (CT) of the head revealed a proliferative, rounded and well-defined com-pact bone mass expanding extracranially. A right rostrotentorial craniectomy was per-formed with ‘en bloc’ mass resection. To achieve clear margins, the excision of the outertable of the frontal bone, with subsequent opening of the right frontal sinus, was nec-essary. To provide an appropriate sealing between the cranial cavity and the nasal cav-ity, thereby preventing future complications, a cemented partial obliteration and recon-struction of the right frontal sinus was performed. The dog recovered uneventfully.Histopathological analysis confirmed complete resection with clear margins and thefinal diagnosis of an osteoma. The dog was progressing with no clinical signs 8 monthsafter the surgery.
