Article Synopsis
  • - Osteomas are the most frequent benign tumors found in the sinonasal area and are often discovered incidentally during unrelated imaging studies; larger versions over 30 mm are termed "giant" osteomas and can lead to complications if they invade nearby spaces.
  • - This report details a case involving a 30-year-old woman with a 45 mm fronto-ethmoidal osteoma causing pressure on her eye and frontal lobe, requiring a specialized surgical team of ENT and neurosurgeons for treatment.
  • - The goal of treating giant sinonasal osteomas is complete surgical removal through a combined approach, and while the risk of recurrence exists, outcomes can vary based on the surgical methods used.
