Osteoma located in the paranasal sinus is a slow growing benign tumor. It commonly occurs in frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses in the order of frequency. Giant osteoma is very rare in the pediatric population, and only nine cases of giant osteoma are reported till date in the form of isolated case reports. Authors report a giant spheno-ethmoidal osteoma in a 14-year-old boy, who presented with progressive visual impairment and proptosis of the left eye for last 1-year. Total excision was carried out using transcranial extradural approach. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and showed remarkable visual recovery along with cosmesis.

A case of giant ethmoid osteoma treated by functional endoscopic sinus surgery is described. The tumour was closely adherent to the surrounding anatomical structures--lamina papyracea, cribriform plate, spheno-ethmoidal recess--and protruded into the nasopharynx. Complete removal of the tumour, under general anaesthesia, using intranasal drill and diode L.

Primary craniospinal giant cell tumors are rare (5-15% of all giant cell tumors), locally destructive bone lesions which are generally not associated with Paget's disease. Clinical behavior of the craniospinal giant cell tumor (GCT) is unpredictable but often very aggressive and therefore optimal management of the lesions remains controversial. Wide resection of the involved bone is required, preferably with a wide margin of normal tissue, which may be difficult to achieve in the craniospinal region.
