Traditionally forehead bony lesion is approached directly through the forehead skin or invasive coronal incision resulting prominent scar. An endoscopic approach through mini hairline incisions may provide a unique way to achieve the best esthetic results, but often time the authors encounter potential soft tissue injury from the high-speed burr. The authors present a case with multiple frontal bone osteoma lesions which were successfully removed through 2 small hairline incisions with the help of an otorhinolaryngological system and an innovative mini-trocar. Significant improvement in forehead shape with minimal scars was observed at an 18-month follow-up. This innovative and easily manipulating technique may help surgeons achieve better outcomes when treating frontal bone osteoma endoscopically.
