A prospective study of paranasal sinus osteomas in 1,889 cases: Changing patterns of localization

Abstract

The prevalence of sinonasal osteoma in the paranasal sinus region detected by CT scan is supporting the literature, whereas the localization pattern challenges it.

A Case of Mandibular Tumour in a Skull from an Early Modern Cemetery in Wroclaw, Poland

“…Many researchers point out that osteomas are more frequent in adults than in adolescents or children, and in men more than in women [49,58,64,65]. In our study, analysing the case from an Early Modern cemetery in Czysty Square in Wrocław, osteoma was identified in a female of maturus age.…”

“…Osteomas classified as benign tumours, despite their abnormal bone tissue structure, are formed in a process similar to normal ossification [57,58]. Currently, osteomas are usually diagnosed accidentally based on radiographs, because they grow slowly, and are asymptomatic and painless up to a certain stage.…”

“…Currently, osteomas are usually diagnosed accidentally based on radiographs, because they grow slowly, and are asymptomatic and painless up to a certain stage. Most osteomas are detected in long bones and girdle bones, or within cranial structures such as the skull cap, the frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses, the ethmoidal labyrinth, the mastoid antrum, or bone structures of the alveolar arches, where they may cause recurrent pain or sinusitis [8, 49,56,[58][59][60]. In clinical diagnostics osteoma is also a pathology associated with Paget's disease of bone -a genetically determined, focal metabolic disorder affecting the skeleton, and characterised by enhanced resorption of bone [61], and Gardner syndrome, also known as an autosomal dominant familial colorectal polyposis, where osteomas are formed, for example, in the paranasal sinuses [62,63].…”

Paranasal Sinus Osteomas

“…1 Buna karşın Erdogan ve ark.nın yaptığı bir çalışmada osteomlar en sık etmoid (%55), sonra frontal sinüste (%37,5) gözlenmiştir. 7 Hastaları-mızdan 11'inde (%64,7) osteom sadece frontal sinüste, 2'sinde (%11,76) sadece etmoid sinüste, 3'ünde (%17,64) fronto-etmoid bölgede, 1'inde (%5,88) ise hem frontal sinüste hem de etmoid sinüste birer adet izlendi.…”

Osteomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses: A review of literature

“…Это наиболее часто встречающееся доброкачественное новообразование носа и околоносовых пазух, которое выявляется у 3% населения, в основном у пациентов мужского пола от 20 до 50 лет (средний возраст около 40 лет) [1][2][3][4].…”
