“…Especially the JOF can be rapidly growing and locally destructive [1,2,4,8]. For this reason, the complete resection of all subtypes of ossifying fibroma presenting in the paranasal sinuses is widely recommended [1,3,4,[8][9][10][11]. Radiotherapy is considered as ineffective and might even implicate the risk of malignant transformation [3].…”

“…compression of the optic nerve or chronic rhinosinusitis [2,7,8]. On the contrary, radical resection of paranasal ossifying fibromas, particularly fibromas of the juvenile type, is widely considered the treatment of choice due to their locally aggressive behaviour [1,3,[8][9][10][11].…”

“…However, as the ossifying fibroma is a very rare condition, no larger series exist in the literature. Published data are mostly limited to single case reports [2,4,8,9,13], demonstrating the need for further studies to evaluate the possibilities and limits of the endoscopic resection of paranasal ossifying fibromas. This is especially true as endoscopic surgery in this particular area, in the close neighbourhood to delicate structures such as the orbita, the skull base, the optical nerve or the carotid artery, requires the utmost precision, experience and skill on part of the surgeon.…”

The ossifying fibroma is a fibro-osseous lesion that rarely occurs in the paranasal sinuses. Due to its tendency to behave locally aggressively, complete resection is generally recommended. A subdivision into the aggressive juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) and the less aggressive cemento-ossifying fibroma of the adult (COF) is clinically reasonable. The objective of the study was to retrospectively analyze the management and follow-up of the patients diagnosed with ossifying fibroma at our ENT-department from 2006 to 2010. A total of five patients were included, thereby comprising one of the largest case series of paranasal ossifying fibromas. In three patients an exclusively endoscopically controlled resection was performed. Two patients with asymptomatic COF declined surgery. Within the 2-year follow-up, no progression was detected. While the JOF should always be surgically treated, for the asymptomatic paranasal ossifying fibroma of the adult (COF) a wait-and-scan strategy, similar to that recommended for osteomas or fibrous dysplasia, could be an option in selected cases.

Objective: To describe the diagnosis and management of an unusual case of solitary fibrous tumor of nasal cavity. Methods:The case records of a patient with solitary fibrous tumor of nasal cavity were reviewed.Results: This patient presented with constant nasal obstruction of one and a half years duration. Nasal endoscopy revealed a firm polypoidal mass filling the left nasal cavity medial to middle turbinate. After imaging, she underwent endoscopic excision of the mass which on histopathological examination was diagnosed as solitary fibrous tumor. At follow up after one year, there was no recurrence of tumour. Conclusion:Solitary fibrous tumours are infrequent neoplasms of mesenchymal origin presenting as a well circumscribed, avidly enhancing mass that is iso-to hyperintense on T1W and T2W MRI images. Even though most SFTs are benign, some of these tumors can be locally invasive and have the potential to be malignant. Surgical excision with long term follow up is the treatment of choice.

Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for treating large, benign processes of the nose, paranasal sinus, and pterygomaxillary and infratemporal fossae: solitary fibrous tumour

Abstract: Endoscopic techniques are currently the approach of choice for the treatment of such tumours of the sinonasal cavity and pterygomaxillary and infratemporal regions. The size of the lesion did not contraindicate endoscopic sinonasal surgery as a curative treatment.
