Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to report the surgical management experience of patients with osteomas of the frontal and ethmoid sinuses performed in 2 metropolitan Italian hospitals between 2012 and 2019. METHODS A retrospective chart review of cases of frontal and ethmoid osteomas from the Ca' Granda Niguarda Hospital of Milan and the Policlinico Umberto I University Hospital of Rome was performed. All patients underwent preoperative computed tomography and, when orbital or intracranial extension was suspected, magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical treatment was performed according to Chiu classification. RESULTS A total of 38 cases of frontal and ethmoid sinus osteomas were included in the study; 22 patients were men and 16 were women. The mean age at diagnosis was 49 years. Seven (18.4%) patients were treated using an open approach; 3 (7.9%) patients underwent open and endoscopic approach; the remaining 28 (73.7%) patients were treated with endoscopic approach. Seven (18.4%) patients had a cerebrospinal fluid leak intraoperatively and were treated with the placement of tissue graft through the defect. The mean follow-up time was 18 months; no recurrence was observed at 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSION Osteomas of the frontal and ethmoid sinuses can be treated using different techniques, mostly endoscopically. The choice of surgical approach (endoscopic vs open) depends on the location and size of the osteoma, anatomical size, characteristic of the sinus, surgeon's experience, and available existing technical facilities. Cerebrospinal fluid leak is a possible complication of surgery.

Abstract
AbstractSkull base osteomas (SBOs) are benign tumors that are frequently detected on radiographic images by coincidence. They are known for being slow-growing tumors and rarely symptomatic. The therapeutic approach for SBOs can differ substantially. Depending on the symptoms, size, and location of the tumor, this can range from serial observation to vigorous surgical extirpation. Clival osteoma is extremely rare. We report a case of clival osteoma, causing intractable trigeminal neuralgia due to the pressure effect on the trigeminal nerve at Meckel's cave. We also provide a review of pertinent literature. A 37-year-old woman presented with intractable trigeminal neuralgia. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a large, lobulated, extra-axial lesion involving the right cerebellopontine angle and epicentering the clivus. Pathologically, the specimen was proven to be osteoma. The patient reported complete symptom resolution over a 4-year follow-up period. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first clinical case of intractable trigeminal neuralgia due to clival osteoma.

Abstract
Paranasal sinus osteomas are slow-growing benign tumors. They are generally asymptomatic in most patients and usually diagnosed incidentally with a sinus radiograph or more frequently with a CT scan of the paranasal sinuses. Osteomas can cause various signs and symptoms, depending on the location of the mass. Giant osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are very rare, with only a handful of case reports in the literature. Due to the rarity of giant osteomas, the clinical presentation and treatment are unclear. In this article, we present a case of giant ethmoid sinus osteoma, which was removed with an endoscopic endonasal approach, as well as a review of the literature.

Abstract
Osteomas are most common among all primary bone tumors of skull bones. They are usually asymptomatic due to their small size and slow growth. They are found incidentally on imaging studies for other neurologic symptoms. Osteoma may be single or multiple when present. They should be differentiated from meningiomas, chordomas, schwannomas, and parosteal osteosarcoma by using different diagnostic methods, including histopathologic study. During routine dissection for MBBS students in an 87 years old female cadaver, we found multiple (seven in number) irregular, lobulated bony masses/structures. Their positions were different with respect to the layers of meninges. Some were present between the dura mater and arachnoid mater compressing the adjacent brain tissues forming impressions on them, and some were outside the dura mater. So, into the previously existing classification, we want to add a new variety under the type b category, i.e., mixed type (intraparenchymal, dural, skull vault) as pointed under the subtype V, which is found in our case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical excision represents the unequivocal treatment modality for symptomatic paranasal sinus osteomas. However, the optimal surgical approach and the extent of the surgery, as well as the management stance in the case of an asymptomatic tumor, remain controversial. METHODS The MeSH terms 'Osteoma', 'Nasal Cavity', and 'Paranasal Sinuses' were used to retrieve articles concerning the management of paranasal sinus osteomas that were published in the last 30 years, the vast majority of which comprised case reports of one or two cases. Original articles or large series of more than six cases were prioritized. RESULTS Our review summarizes previous findings and opinions relevant to the management of symptomatic and asymptomatic paranasal sinus osteomas. The recent shifts in trends of their management are thoroughly discussed. Currently, an extension of the lesion through the anterior frontal sinus wall; an erosion of the posterior wall of the frontal sinus; a far-anterior intraorbital extension; an attachment to the orbital roof beyond the midorbital point; and some patient-specific adverse anatomic variations that may restrict access, are considered strong contraindications to a purely endoscopic approach. On the grounds of this thorough review, a new grading system for frontal and frontoethmoidal osteomas is proposed to allow better conformity to recent advancements and current clinical, research, and educational needs. CONCLUSION Over the past 30 years, endoscopic techniques have emerged as the new standard of care for favorably located paranasal sinus osteomas. Nonetheless, open approaches remain indispensable for the management of the more perplexing cases of frontal sinus osteomas.

Abstract
Objective: The pathogenesis of paranasal sinus osteoma (PSO) has not been fully elucidated. It is thought that both embryological and developmental factors play a role in the etiology. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of frequency and localization of PSOs detected on computed tomography (CT) examination with osteoma presence. Methods: In this retrospective study conducted in December 2017 through March 2020 in Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Medicine, images of a total of 18,867 patients who underwent paranasal sinus, maxillofacial CT and brain CT angiography were reviewed for the presence of PSOs. Sizes of PSOs and accompanying mucosal pathologies were identified. Associations between PSOs and paranasal sinus variations were evaluated statistically compared to the control group (200 patients without PSO). Results: A total of 176 patients (0.92%) were found to have PSO. Average age of the patients with PSO was 59.9 years (range: 18–93). PSOs were unilateral in 152 patients while 24 patients had multiple osteomas. Female/male ratio was 1.1/1. PSOs were most commonly located in the frontal sinuses. Frequencies of vertical concha bullosa, secondary middle turbinate, twisted uncinate, supraorbital ethmoid cell, intersinus septal cell, ethmoidomaxillary cell, Haller’s cell, frontal sinus hypoplasia and sphenoid sinus hypoplasia were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Higher or lower incidence rates of some anatomic variations in the patients with PSO could be explained by the possible effects of genetic and/or environmental factor. Additional studies are needed to evaluate these possible associations.

Abstract
Isolated sphenoid osteomas are very rare even in adults. There are extremely few publications on pediatric cases of sphenoid osteomas. This paper presents a case of isolated sphenoid osteoma combined with suppurative sphenoiditis in a 15-year-old patient. The child presented with persistent headache resistant to medical treatment. Endoscopic sphenotomy allowed both to remove osteoma and to relieve the symptoms of sinusitis. The presented case can be considered as the third detailed description of the sphenoid osteoma in children and the first demonstration of the effectiveness of the endoscopic approach for its removal.

Abstract
Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses rarely lead to intracranial manifestations. We present an unusual case of a giant frontal sinus osteoma leading to subdural empyema formation. Determine the origin and the optimal surgical approach of these unusual lesions by analyzing giant osteomas of the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses in the literature. We report a rare case of giant frontoethmoidal osteoma with intracranial extension in a 34-year-old man, revealed by seizures. Neuroradiological studies revealed frontoparietal subdural empyema associated to a large osteoma in the right frontal sinus. The patient underwent surgical evacuation of the empyema and resection of the osteoma in one stage operation of decompressive craniotomy. The patient recovered very well after surgery and postoperative antibiotic therapy. This case represents in the literature only the third-reported case of subdural empyema complicating frontoethmoidal osteoma. The surgical treatment options, including open surgery techniques and endoscopic approaches, as well as pathogenesis are discussed according to the relevant literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Paranasal sinus osteomas are slow-growing, benign bony tumours that when larger than 30 mm, they are termed 'gigantic'. Special considerations apply for tumours of this calibre, and their rarity renders their management fairly controversial. This study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding concerning their management by presenting a 12-year experience from a single institution. METHODS Retrospective review of files of patients treated for a gigantic paranasal sinus osteoma from January 2008 to December 2019. Additionally, all patients were prospectively reexamined in early 2020 for late complications or clinical recurrence. RESULTS Ten patients were included, with a mean age of 53.8 years (range: 23-77 years). The leading presenting findings were proptosis (80%) and diplopia (70%). Transient visual impairment was remarkably frequent (30%). Five patients were managed with an open approach, two with an endoscopic, and three with a combined technique. The most common adverse characteristics that dictated the use of an open approach, alone or in combination with an endoscopic approach, were the involvement of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus (40%), erosion of its posterior wall (30%), and a far-anterior intraorbital extension (30%). No major postoperative complications were observed, and also no recurrences. CONCLUSION Our study illustrates that these tumours may require a different management attitude. Despite substantial advances in the endoscopic management of benign sinonasal tumours, managing these massive tumours solely endoscopically could, in many cases, be inefficacious or impossible. Open approaches remain valuable, representing a safe and straightforward method for adequate exposure.

Abstract
Background Although osteoma is a common benign tumor of the paranasal sinuses, its orbital extension is not common. Secondary orbital cellulitis has rarely been reported in association with sino‐orbital osteoma. Case A 30‐year‐old woman presented with left side proptosis, orbital pain and inflammation. Orbital CT scan showed a well‐defined giant osteoma in the superonasal part of the left orbit originating from the left ethmoidal sinus associated with opacity of the ipsilateral ethmoidal sinus and infiltration of orbital soft tissue. After treatment by systemic antibiotics, osteoma was resected with combined external and endoscopic surgery and the patient recovered uneventfully. Conclusion Sino‐orbital osteoma may manifest primarily as orbital cellulitis and needs early surgical intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present clinical ocular manifestations, radiological features and surgical results of giant paranasal osteomas involving the orbit. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional, case series. METHODS The study included patients treated for giant paranasal osteoma involving the orbit. Total or subtotal excision of the tumor was performed via external approach. Clinical characteristics including presenting symptoms, radiologic investigation, histopathology and details of the surgery were recorded. RESULTS Of the six patients included; four were male and two were female. Mean age was 46.8 years (range 12-70 years). Five patients had unilateral, one patient had bileteral disease. The presenting complaints included complete (n = 2/6) or partial (n = 4/6) limitation of eye movements depending on the location and size of the tumor, diplopia (n = 5/6), vision loss (n = 2/6) exophthalmos (n = 6/6) and reduced pupillary light reflex (n = 2/6). The presumed origin of the tumor was frontoethmoidal region (n = 2/6), frontal sinus (n = 3/6) and ethmoid sinus (n = 1/6). Total resection was achieved in three of the patients whereas partial resection was achieved in remaining three patients due to risk of incremental neurological damage. Mild ptosis was observed in all patients during the postoperative period (temporary, n = 4; permanent, n = 2). CONCLUSION Despite the benign nature of osteomas, severe functional impairment including vision loss due to compression of the optic nerve and diplopia might occur in case of orbital involvement. Osteomas with an orbital extension > %50 of the bony orbit volume are more prone to cause irreversible visual loss. Surgical resection is still the mainstay of therapy.

Abstract
Osteomas are slow-growing, benign bony tumors. Most are asymptomatic. Paranasal sinus osteoma in the pediatric population is rare; hence, there are few reports of symptomatic osteomas. The authors report the case of a giant ethmoid sinus osteoma in an 11-year-old girl who presented with diplopia and proptosis. Total excision and reconstruction of the medial orbital wall were performed via a coronal approach. The postoperative period was uneventful, the child's vision improved, and a good cosmetic result was obtained.

Abstract
Osteomas are benign tumours that involve paranasal sinuses more than other parts of body. Frontal sinus is most common while sphenoid is least one. They are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on imaging for other reasons. Giant variety of frontoethmoid osteoma is very rare and only few cases are described in literature. Orbital involvement in giant frontoethmoid osteoma is even rarer. Due to threat to vision, this variety is an indication for surgical intervention followed by reconstruction of defect. As these tumours are very large, endoscopic approaches are less indicated and there is no clear consensus which open surgical approach is better. We are reporting such a rare case of giant frontoethmoid osteoma causing proptosis and restriction of eye movement that was treated with open surgical approach.

Abstract
Introduction Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are benign bone tumours that produce clinical signs depending on their size and location. In most reported cases large tumours are excised by an external approach or in conjunction with an endoscopic technique. Endoscopic treatment of such tumours is a huge challenge for the operator. Objective Determine the optimal surgical approach by analysing giant osteomas of the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses in the literature. Methods Group of 37 osteomas obtained from the literature review. A group of osteomas removed only by endoscopy was compared with a group in which an external approach (lateral rhynotomy or craniotomy) or combined external and endoscopic approach was applied. Results The authors, based on the statistical analysis of the literature data, have found that the average size of osteomas excised endoscopically and those removed by external approaches does not differ statistically, when the osteomas are located in the ethmoidal cells (p = 0.2691) and the frontal sinuses (p = 0.5891). Conclusion The choice of surgical method appears to be independent of the osteoma size and the decision is likely to be taken based on the experience of the surgeon, available equipment and knowledge of different surgical techniques.

Abstract
Osteomas are the most common benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. They are usually localized in the frontal sinus. Giant osteomas of the frontal sinuses are very rare but readily extend into the intraorbital or intracranial cavity, causing serious complications. This is a report of a 14 year-old boy with a bulging in frontal area and asymptomatic giant osteoma of the frontal sinuses. He had a history of minor trauma that had a bulging after 3 months. However, he referred to a plastic surgeon after 15 months. Computed tomography of the sinuses revealed a 3.5 × 6 cm extremely dense bony mass in the frontal sinus that extended into the left orbit and ethmoid sinus. A bicoronal frontal flap was raised with a V-shaped skin incision starting from the tragus placed 5 cm posterior to the hairline. The osteoma was resected completely in the frontal sinus and the anterior wall of frontal sinus was reconstructed with Porex. The patient has not had any complications until the time of writing this report. Titanium mesh may still be a valuable option, but Medpore Porex has shown to be quite effective in this case.

Abstract
We report a case of internal auditory canal osteoma and discuss this entity's etiology, natural history, and treatment options. The internal auditory canal osteoma is a rare entity with only a few reports published in the medical literature. Its diagnosis is based on two complementary imaging modalities: thin-slice computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. No consensus exists regarding the treatment of this entity, and treatment should be tailored to each patient depending on that patient's initial complaints, as well as his or her medical findings.

Abstract
Osteoma is a benign osteogenic lesion which is composed of well differentiated mature compact and/or cancellous bone that proliferates continuously. Its prevalence is 4%. Its pathogenesis is still controversial. Solitary peripheral osteoma of craniofacial region is a rare finding. We report a case of 30-year-old female having solitary peripheral osteoma present on the lingual cortex of the left posterior mandible which was initially asymptomatic but now is causing discomfort while chewing and not associated with Gardner's syndrome. We also laid emphasis on its clinical, differential diagnosis, radiological, surgical, and histopathological features. The aim of this paper is to present an uncommon case of solitary peripheral osteoma in the mandible along with analysis of literature for peripheral osteomas of jaws and to contribute to the knowledge concerning the pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and management of these lesions.

Abstract
The authors describe a rare case of intracranial extraaxial parafalcine and anterior skull base osteomas in a 22-year-old woman presenting with bifrontal headaches. This case highlights the possible occurrence of such lesions along the anterior skull base and parafalcine region that, as such, should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis for extraaxial calcific lesions involving the anterior skull base. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient who underwent complete successful resection of multiple extraaxial osteomas of the anterior skull base and parafalcine region.

Abstract
Giant paranasal sinus osteomas are rare tumors that may be very closely adherent to surrounding anatomical structures, and complete removal of these tumors may be very challenging. We report 6 cases of giant paranasal sinus osteomas that were removed completely and discussed their symptoms, diagnostic workup, and our surgical approach. We reviewed the patient files of our 6 cases with giant paranasal osteomas and summarized their history, symptoms, diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Three of our patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery; the other 2 patients underwent open surgical approach (osteoplastic flap procedure with bicoronal incision), and 1 patient underwent both endoscopic and open approaches, all under general anesthesia. Mean patient age was 42.6 years (range, 18-54 years). Main symptoms were headache, proptosis, and diplopia. Physical examination findings include proptosis and frontal puffiness. Paranasal sinus computed tomography revealed larger than 3-cm-diameter tumors in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. The surgical approach to each case was customized to the location, size, and presenting symptoms of the osteoma. Histopathology revealed osteoma in all cases. All patients were evaluated with paranasal sinus computed tomography scan postoperatively. At a mean follow-up of 15 months, complication was observed in 1 patient; no residual tumor or recurrence was detected following surgery. In symptomatic cases with huge tumors, open, endoscopic, or combined approaches could be applied because of the location and size of the tumor with successful outcomes. Both endoscopic and open approaches are safe and effective methods for removal of these tumors.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
A 74-year-old male patient presented to the outpatient department with left-sided epiphora and chronic dacryocystitis, without any history of head trauma or previous nasal or paranasal sinuses surgery. No abnormalities were noted at the time with the use of nasal endoscopy. The computed tomography scan however revealed an osteoma of the medial wall of the left maxillary sinus. An endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with osteoma removal by using a drill with temporary silicone stenting of the nasolacrimal duct system was performed. Due to a granuloma formation at the DCR-window site 2 months postoperatively a revision-DCR was performed and the new window remained patent at control 6 months after surgery.

Abstract
Introduction: Osteomas are slow- growing, benign tumors. They are the most common neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses. They are usually originates from the frontal and ethmoid sinus and much less frequently seen in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. Although the lamina papyracea is a part of ethmoid bone, a giant osteoma originated from the lamina papyracea is very uncommon. An osteoma of the paranasal sinus is usually asymptomatic. Headache, proptosis, epiphora, diplopia, dizziness, facial deformity, face pain and cerebral complications are possible symptoms. The treatment of the paranasal osteomas are controversial. Case report: A 65 year old patient that applied with stuffiness and headache to our clinic. She has had a smooth mass in the right nasal cavity. Paranasal sinus tomography showed an osseous lesion, the size of 4x 3 cm, arising from the right lamina papyracea. The mass excised endoscopically and reported as osteoma histopathologically. There was no complication. After 9 months, there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Giant osteomas of paranasal sinuses, especially originated from the lamina papyracea are rare. They can be treated successfully by endoscopic approaches without any recurrence and complication despite its size.

Abstract
Giant osteomas of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses ary very rare, with only a few dozen cases reported in the literature. Given their rarity, the clinical characteristics and treatment of this disease remain controversial. In this study, the clinical presentation and surgical methods used to treat three patients with giant osteomas of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses are described, combined with a review of the literature from 1975 to 2011. In total, 45 patients with giant osteomas arising from the ethmoid and frontal sinuses (including the present cases) have been reported in 41 articles. Headache and ocular signs are the most common symptoms. This disease often leads to intracranial or intraorbital complications. The main treatment for giant osteoma is surgery via an external approach. The outcome of surgery for giant osteoma is good, with rare recurrence, no malignant transformation and few persistent symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most challenging benign tumors for the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon is represented by sinonasal osteomas. Surgical treatment should regard just symptomatic osteomas, because these tumors can provoke rhinosinusitis and mucoceles. Recently, new instruments have been applied in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This study was designed to present our experience in the endoscopic management of osteomas of the paranasal sinuses. Clinical findings, preoperative imaging strategy, and surgical techniques are discussed. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of patients who underwent ESS for sinonasal osteomas between 2003 and 2010 in our institutions. RESULTS We have treated with a transnasal endoscopic approach 29 patients affected by paranasal osteomas (13 men and 16 women; age range, 20-78 years; mean, 49.5 years). We found frontoethmoidal junction localization in 14 patients, frontal sinus in 6 patients, ethmoid in 6 patients, sphenoid in 1 patient, maxillary in 1 patient, and multiple osteomas in 1 patient. Initially, patients were treated by the cavitation technique with standard ESS instruments, whereas in more recent cases surgery was assisted by the use of ENT navigation system, curved drills, and ultrasound bone emulsifier. No major complications occurred. No radiological or endoscopic signs of recurrence (mean follow-up, 52 months; range, 6-89 months) have been observed. CONCLUSION Endoscopic removal of osteomas of the sinonasal region is feasible, taking into account the location and size of the lesion. Particular importance should be given to new instruments that have been applied in the last years in ESS.

Abstract
Osteomas are slow growing bony tumours of the paranasal sinuses. They are usually asymptomatic but they may present with headache, cerebral symptoms, or visual disturbances, depending on their anotomical location. A computerized tomography scan is the imaging modality that should be choosen for the diagnosis of osteomas. Radiographically, osteoid osteoma appears as an opaque lesion with a nidus which has a radioluscent center surrounded by dense sclerosis. If treatment is indicated, external or endoscopic approaches can be chosen. We report a rare case of giant ethmoido-orbital osteoma which was treated via endoscopic approach. The endoscopic way is convenient and safe enough with advantages over the external approach. The decreased morbidity and better cosmetic results are clear advantages of this technique which has the potential to become the treatment of choice for selected ethmoid tumours, such as a giant tumour mentioned in this study.

Abstract
Osteomas, the most common skull tumors, are typically excised through either an open or endoscopic ostectomy using a high-speed drill, a technically challenging procedure that can result in injury to adjacent soft tissue structures. Osteoma removal through ultrasonic bone emulsification and aspiration (UBA) offers the advantages of decreased blood loss, preservation of adjacent soft tissue structures, and precise bone removal. UBA was used to successfully remove a forehead osteoma without injury to adjacent nerves and with a satisfactory cosmetic outcome. We describe skull osteoma removal with an ultrasonic bone aspirator, which offers potential advantages over conventional bone removal techniques.

Abstract
Osteomata of the frontal and ethmoid sinuses have traditionally been surgically removed via external approaches. However, endoscopic techniques have increasingly been used for the surgical management of selected cases. Advances in visualization and instrumentation, as well as the excellent access provided by the Draf type 3 procedure, expanded the reach of endoscopes. We describe current limits of endoscopic approaches in the removal of osteomata from the frontal sinus and our algorithms for their management. We believe that the vast majority of frontal sinus osteomata can be managed endoscopically, and that only significant anterior or extreme infero-lateral extension constitute major limiting factors.

Abstract
Osteomas are benign osteogenic neoplasms or hamartomas with a very slow growth rate. Osteoma is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses. In the jaws, the mandible is more commonly involved than the maxilla. Osteomas may occur at any age, but most frequently are found in individuals older than 40 years. Although most osteomas are small, some may become large enough to cause severe damage, especially those that develop in the frontoethmoid region. Osteomas composed solely of compact bone are uniformly radiopaque and those containing cancellous bone show evidence of internal trabecular structure. To determine and evaluate the exact extension and internal structure of these lesions, computed tomography (CT) is a more useful imaging modality in comparison to conventional radiography. Hereby, we discuss clinical and imaging features of two osteomas (one in the ethmoid sinus and the other in the mandible) along with the main differential diagnoses and pathologic features.

Abstract
Diagnosis of frontal osteoma is usually by chance, but rarely these can produce exceptional ophthalmologic and neurological complications apart from cosmetic disfigurement. Etiology of frontal osteoma may be multifactorial. Surgical management should be site and size specific. A combination of open surgery and endoscopic methods would help confirm complete removal of the tumor. Here we report a fronto-ethmoidal osteoma of size 7.1 × 5.3 × 5.1 cm which is one of the largest reported in literature. Also, we have done an extensive web search and text based review of the literature on frontal osteoma in terms of its incidence, etiology, pathology, clinical presentation, complications and important developments in management. The available literature and our own experience suggest that even large osteoma arising in the fronto-ethmoid region can be completely removed surgically with minimum complications. The surgical approach can be varied according to the extent of the tumor and patient considerations. A regular follow up is necessary in asymptomatic cases being treated conservatively, in view of the potential complications.

Abstract
Orbital tumors arising from paranasal sinuses comprise mucoceles and malignant ethmoidal tumors. Most often, anamnestic, clinical, and radiological data as well as endoscopic biopsy performed by an ENT surgeon provide the preoperative diagnosis. If the tumor is benign, surgery can cure the patient. It is associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy if the tumor is malignant.

Abstract
Osteomas are slow-growing benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses. They originate from the sinus wall and generally fills the sinus cavity. Many osteomas are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiographs. The well-circumscribed, dense bony appearance on radiographs is usually diagnostic. Osteomas become symptomatic when they extend to the orbit or cranium. We report a rare case of ethmoido-orbital osteoma. Case reports and a review of the literature concerning osteoma and surgical techniques are presented. Treatment is not recommended in asymptomatic osteomas. If treatment is indicated, external or endoscopic approach can be chosen. The choice of surgical approach depends on the size of the lesion, location, and the experience of the surgeon.

Abstract
Maxillofacial district osteomas are benign lesions with very slow growth. The most frequent localization is the frontal sinus, about 57% of all paranasal cavity osteomas; less frequently, they can be located in the ethmoidal sinus or sphenoidal and maxillary. Etiology has not completely clarified yet; nevertheless, there are 3 main pathogenetic theories: osteogenic, traumatic, and infective. Open procedures represent the gold standard, but there is still an unsolved debate for the best treatment option. Endoscopic techniques offer an alternative approach, enabling closer and more direct visualization of the anatomy as well as avoiding damage to surrounding structures. In our study, we analyzed all patients treated with endoscopic approach for paranasal sinus osteomas in the ENT unit of the University of Varese and compared them with patients treated for the same pathology with open surgery in the Maxillo-facial Department of the University of Rome "La Sapienza." The purpose of the work was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the 2 procedures. In conclusion, this study underlines the importance of flexibility in surgical approach decision, which must fit the different issues of the pathology and of the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteomas of ethmoid sinus are rare, especially when they involve anterior skull base and orbit, and lead to ophthalmologic and neurological symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION The present case describes a giant ethmoid osteoma. Patient symptoms and signs were exophthalmos and proptosis of the left eye, with progressive visual acuity impairment and visual fields defects. CT/MRI scanning demonstrated a huge osseous lesion of the left ethmoid sinus (6.5 cm x 5 cm x 2.2 cm), extending laterally in to the orbit and cranially up to the anterior skull base. Bilateral extensive polyposis was also found. Endoscopic and external techniques were combined to remove the lesion. Bilateral endoscopic polypectomy, anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy and middle meatus antrostomy were performed. Finally, the remaining part of the tumor was reached and dissected from the surrounding tissue via a minimally invasive Lynch incision around the left middle canthus. During surgery, CSF rhinorrhea was observed and leakage was grafted with fascia lata and coated with bio-glu. Postoperatively, symptoms disappeared. Eighteen months after surgery, the patient is still free of symptoms. CONCLUSION Before management of ethmoid osteomas with intraorbital and skull base extension, a thorough neurological, ophthalmological and imaging evaluation is required, in order to define the bounders of the tumor, carefully survey the severity of symptoms and signs, and precisely plan the optimal treatment. The endoscopic procedure can constitute an important part of surgery undertaken for giant ethmoidal osteomas. In addition, surgeons always have to take into account a possible CSF leak and they have to be prepared to resolve it.

Abstract
Object
The goal of this study is to review the surgical management and outcome of patients who were treated for large orbitocranial osteomas at Gulhane Military Medical Academy over a period of 7 years.
Methods
Twenty-one patients with large orbitocranial osteomas were evaluated retrospectively. All patients were male and between 19 and 25 years old. Surgery was performed in all patients. The main surgical procedure was resection of the osteoma using orbitotomy and/or craniotomy followed by orbital reconstruction and cranioplasty. Cranioplasty was performed in 16 patients, using methyl methacrylate in 5 patients (31%) and porous polyethylene in 11 patients (69%). Thin, flexible, porous polyethylene was preferred for orbital reconstruction in 10 patients. The cranioplasty materials were attached to the intact bone using miniplates.
Results
There were no severe postoperative complications. Mild transient periorbital ecchymosis was noted in 19 patients. The mean follow-up period was 11.7 months (range 9–24 months) after surgery. No tumor regrowth was observed in any patient at the end of the follow-up period.
Conclusions
Large osteomas of the orbitocranial region must be resected for cosmetic and functional reasons. Selection and planning of the surgical technique should be based on the direction of the tumor growth and on the size of the tumor and the structures that are compressed by the tumor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteomas arising from the internal auditory canal and developing in the cerebellopontine angle have rarely been reported. We present the first case of bilateral osteomas in this region and describe our management strategy. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 30-year-old woman presented with strong vertigo, tinnitus, and hypacusis on the left side. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomographic scans displayed bilateral cerebellopontine angle osteomas arising from the internal auditory canal. The larger tumor on the left side was found to be compressing the vestibulocochlear nerve. INTERVENTION Surgery was performed on the symptomatic side via the retrosigmoid approach, and the tumor was removed completely. The vertigo resolved completely after surgery, and the patient had no further tinnitus attacks. An audiogram showed slightly improved hearing with a mean of 20 dB in the main speech area. CONCLUSION Osteomas should be considered in patients with bilateral cerebellopontine angle tumors. Surgical removal might provide resolution of symptoms.

Abstract
The authors present a case of a 50-year-old woman with orbital osteoma complaining of gaze-evoked transitory vision loss of the right eye lasting for 6 months. The patient presented with normal visual acuity, pupils, eye movements, color vision, visual evoked potentials and visual fields. Orbital ultrasound showed a nasal intraorbitary neoformation, with low echogenicity and well-defined borders, suggesting an ethmoidal mucocele. Only a computed tomographic scan allowed the correct diagnosis, revealing a 2.7 cm x 2.2 cm calcified mass in the medial half of the right orbit, compatible with an osteoma. The x-ray view of the orbit confirmed the diagnosis. Although osteomas are slow-growing tumors, we decided to remove it because of the size, the complaints, and the patient's wishes. The tumor was approached and excised through an anterior medial orbitotomy. It was histopathologically shown to be a compact osteoma. The transitory vision loss resolved after surgery.

Abstract
A 65-year-old woman presented with severe periorbital pain and swelling of the left eye, with complete ptosis, proptosis, and conjunctival chemosis. The eye was in a hypotropic position, and activity in the left superior rectus was inadequate. A firm, elastic, 2-cm mass was palpated near the superior orbital rim. Computed tomography revealed a subperiosteal abscess (SPA) at the superior portion of the orbit and a large frontoethmoidal sinus osteoma. After the SPA had been surgically drained and the osteoma completely removed, the patient recovered, with resolution of proptosis, ptosis, and motility limitations. Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are usually asymptomatic and rarely cause SPA and orbital cellulitis. Therefore, osteoma cases must be closely followed to ensure that early diagnosis and treatment of SPA are successful in preventing severe visual loss and rescuing the patient's vision.

Abstract
Sinonasal ossifying fibroma is a rare, slow-growing, benign bony tumour, frequently involving the maxilla and mandible in the head and neck region. Although it is known to be the second most frequent fibro-osseous tumour of paranasal sinus, to the best of our knowledge, ossifying fibroma of frontal sinus causing brain abscess has not been presented yet in the relevant literature. We present the clinical, pathological and radiological findings of ossifying fibroma of the frontal sinus associated with brain abscess.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteomas located on the border between the anterior cranial base and the facial region are benign, often asymptomatic and usually slow growing. They may cause different complications depending on the part of the central nervous or visual systems which they affect. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 1997 and 2002, four patients were treated at the 1st Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Medical University of Warsaw for osteomas located at the border of the anterior cranial base. In all patients a radical surgical removal of the tumour was performed via bifrontal craniotomy, with an extradural approach to the anterior cranial fossa. The resulting defects were repaired with autologous bone grafts. RESULTS The post-operative results were good regarding morphological, functional and aesthetic outcome. Two of the four patients are described to illustrate the surgical treatment.
