“…At present, the etiology is uncertain. There are numerous theories regarding the origin of these tumors: traumatic, infectious, embryologic 7 . Also, osteomas can be found in Gardner's syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder (intestinal polyposis, cutaneous tumors, osteomas).…”

BACKGROUND. The most frequent benign nasal tumor is the osteoma. It is commonly asymptomatic and usually an incidental finding and can be caused by multiple factors. The therapeutic approach for symptomatic osteomas is strictly surgical. CASE REPORT. The authors present a patient with giant ethmoido-frontal osteoma, causing the compression of the ocular globe and the right frontal lobe. Considering the intracranial extension, a combined surgical team consisting of an ENT surgeon and neurosurgeon decided to deal with the case. The tumoral mass was removed with no recurrence after a follow-up of two years. CONCLUSION. Surgery via external and endoscopic approach aims to completely resect the osteoma with frontal sinus origin and orbital or intracranial extension.

“…CT is the method of choice for radiological diagnosis as it shows the bony borders, erosions and soft tissue involvement. (11) Asymptomatic osteomas should be regularly followed up. (12) Indications for surgery are 1) rapid growth of the tumor, 2) the presence of symptoms, 3) chronic rhino sinusitis due to obstruction by the tumor, 4) tumor causing bone erosion or facial deformity, 5) if tumor occupies more than 50% of the frontal sinus, 6) tumor causing blockage of the frontal recess and 7) the presence of complications.…”

Osteomas are slow growing benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. Most of them are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on radiographs. Sometimes they may grow to produce symptoms like cosmetic deformity, proptosis, epiphora and visual disturbances. A case of giant ethmoid osteoma with intra orbital extension in 30 year old female that was managed endoscopically is discussed. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic approach along with intra nasal drill is a safe and effective technique in management of osteoma of nose and paranasal sinus.

Diagnosis of frontal osteoma is usually by chance, but rarely these can produce exceptional ophthalmologic and neurological complications apart from cosmetic disfigurement. Etiology of frontal osteoma may be multifactorial. Surgical management should be site and size specific. A combination of open surgery and endoscopic methods would help confirm complete removal of the tumor. Here we report a fronto-ethmoidal osteoma of size 7.1 × 5.3 × 5.1 cm which is one of the largest reported in literature. Also, we have done an extensive web search and text based review of the literature on frontal osteoma in terms of its incidence, etiology, pathology, clinical presentation, complications and important developments in management. The available literature and our own experience suggest that even large osteoma arising in the fronto-ethmoid region can be completely removed surgically with minimum complications. The surgical approach can be varied according to the extent of the tumor and patient considerations. A regular follow up is necessary in asymptomatic cases being treated conservatively, in view of the potential complications.
