Fibro-Osseous Lesion of the Nose and Paranasal Sinus: A Retrospective Study With Literature Review

Abstract

BackgroundFibro-osseous (FO) lesions are slow-growing benign lesions in the paranasal sinuses. They include osteomas, fibrous dysplasia (FD), and ossifying fibroma (OF). Fibro-osseous (FO) lesions are frequently asymptomatic, and they are incidentally found on imaging. They are characterized by different histological, radiological, and clinical variants. Depending on symptoms, size, location, and extension, the treatment strategy varies significantly for these lesions. ObjectiveWe aim to compare the age, onset, gender, clinical presentation, postoperative improvement, and complications of a fibro-osseous lesion in the paranasal sinuses. MethodsA retrospective analysis was done targeting patients diagnosed with benign fibro-osseous (FO) lesions, and the incidence among 403 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) at Aseer
