Enthesophytes are bones with aberrant projections which are seen to form at the attachment of a band of tissue or ligament.

In more than forty percent of X-rays about ten to thirty -millimeter skeletal lump was found behind the skull. Several medical tests were taken such as MRI's and blood tests.
