Article Synopsis
- Giant frontoethmoidal osteomas are rare, slow-growing benign tumors that can cause significant symptoms due to their location near critical structures, often found incidentally on X-rays.
- A 56-year-old woman had a giant osteoma affecting her nasal cavity and sinus, leading to years of headaches and other issues, and it was eventually removed after a long watch-and-wait approach; however, she later developed a mucocele that has not yet been surgically addressed.
- Early detection and removal of these osteomas is essential for better treatment outcomes, and while combined open and endoscopic surgery is effective, there is ongoing debate about the best timing and methods for surgical intervention.
