Osteoid Osteoma of The Frontal Sinus: A Case Report

Abstract

An osteoid osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor that usually causes nocturnal severe pain. The majority are found in the head and neck region and represent the most common benign neoplasm of the nose and paranasal sinuses. We report the case of a 14-year-old female patient admitted for refractory headache and diagnosed with an osteoid osteoma of the frontal sinus, which have been treated successfully using surgical intervention. As for our patient, en block wide excision was enough to resect the whole tumor as it was confined to the frontal sinus.
