Abstract

Paranasal sinus osteomas develop slowly and are benign tumors. Most individuals don't have any symptoms, and a CT scan of the paranasal sinuses is used to identify them accidentally. Depending on where the mass is located, osteomas can produce a variety of symptoms. There are very few case reports of giant osteomas of the paranasal sinuses in the literature. The clinical manifestation and course of therapy for large osteomas remain unknown due to their rarity. This article includes a review of the literature and a case study of a massive ethmoid sinus osteoma that was surgically removed via an endoscopic endonasal technique.

Keywords: Paranasal sinus, ethmoid osteoma, ethmoid sinus, osteoma, polyp
