AI Article Synopsis
- Osteomas are non-cancerous, slow-growing bone tumors that are often found incidentally during imaging for other health issues, particularly in the paranasal region.
- These tumors, particularly in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, can occasionally lead to headaches, although most are asymptomatic.
- The report highlights a unique case of an osteoma in the middle concha bullosa that caused headaches and was successfully removed using an endoscopic procedure without complications.
Article Abstract
Osteomas are benign, slow-growing tumors originating from bone tissue. Osteomas of the paranasal region, which are usually asymptomatic, are detected incidentally on tomographies taken for other medical needs. Paranasal sinus osteomas frequently localized in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses are among the infrequent reasons for headaches. In this case report, the authors submit the first case of an osteoma that was localized inside the middle concha bullosa and causing headache. It was successfully excised via an endoscopic endonasal approach without any complications.
