“…Complications reported due to extended watch and wait periods include obstruction of sinus outflow tracts leading to recurrent sinusitis, headaches, and persistent facial pressure. 132 Prognosis largely depends on the tumor's location, size, and treatment, as complete resection demonstrates lower recurrence rates. 133 Presentation before 13 years of age and female sex have been identified as possible risk factors for recurrence.…”

“…Clinicians must find a balance between waiting for small osteomas to become symptomatic and achieving better outcomes by resecting small osteomas versus large ones. Complications reported due to extended watch and wait periods include obstruction of sinus outflow tracts leading to recurrent sinusitis, headaches, and persistent facial pressure 132 . Prognosis largely depends on the tumor’s location, size, and treatment, as complete resection demonstrates lower recurrence rates 133 .…”

Importance: Osteoid osteomas are benign bony overgrowths that can occur in any region of the body. However, they have a predilection to occur in the craniofacial region. Because of the rarity of this entity, there is a lack of literature detailing the management and prognosis of craniofacial osteoid osteomas. Observations: Craniofacial osteomas have a predilection to involve the paranasal sinuses, but can also be found within the jaw, skull base, and facial bones. Because of their slow-growing nature, craniofacial osteomas are often incidentally discovered on routine imaging or after they compress nearby structures or distort nearby anatomy. Osteoid osteomas of the face can be treated with resection via various approaches. Recent advancements describe minimally invasive endoscopic techniques and adjuvant therapy with radiofrequency ablation guided by cone biopsy computed tomography. Osteoid osteomas have an excellent prognosis with complete resection. They demonstrate a low incidence of recurrence when compared with other osteoblastic lesions of the craniofacial structures. Conclusions and Relevance: Craniofacial osteoid osteomas remain a developing topic within the field of craniofacial surgery. Their removal may be trending toward minimally invasive techniques. However, all treatment modalities appear to result in improved cosmetic outcomes and low recurrence rates.
