Osteomas are slow-growing, fibro-osseous tumors and the most common
benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses, with an estimated
prevalence of approximately 3% in the general population. Despite their
relatively low occurrence, the optimal management and treatment of
osteomas remain uncertain. Asymptomatic and small osteomas can be
managed conservatively through observation. However, surgical
intervention is recommended for osteomas that are symptomatic, rapidly
growing, causing facial deformities, leading to chronic rhinosinusitis,
or extending beyond the frontal sinus. We recently encountered a 37-
year-old man with a large symptomatic osteoma in the frontoethmoidal
sinus. Due to the presence of orbital pain, we performed endonasal
endoscopic sinus surgery with debulking by drilling. The procedure was
successfully completed without complications. |
