“…The literature on giant osteomas of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses from 1975 to 2011 was reviewed using the keywords ‘osteoma and ethmoid sinus’ or ‘osteoma and frontal sinus’, and 45 patients with giant osteomas in 41 articles were identified (including the cases presented here) (Table I) (5–44). The patients consisted of 28 males and 17 females.…”

Giant osteomas of the ethmoid and frontal sinuses: Clinical characteristics and review of the literature

2013

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.

“…The majority of patients were managed with an open approach (65.9%), and 25 of these patients underwent a craniotomy as part of their procedure (Table 2). 4,6–36 Surprisingly, only 28 patients (34.1%) were managed with a strictly endoscopic approach. Three studies did not overtly report the method of treatment but were included in our review to report their presenting symptoms; all three of these cases were published in nonsurgical journals.…”

Intersinus septal cells (ISSC) are defined as cells confined to the thin septum separating the frontal sinuses. In 2008, Som et al. first described four cases with a mucocele proved to have arisen in ISSC. Here, we report two cases with a mucocele in ISSC, representing the second report to appear in the English literature. Case 1 involved a mucocele in the center of the frontal lesion with rudimentary bilateral frontal sinuses, which suggested that the ISSC mucocele occurred during very early development of the frontal sinuses. Case 2 concerned a mucocele in the unilocular frontal sinus invading the left orbit. The frontal sinus septum was destroyed with partial 'Y'-shaped remnants, which implied the ballooning and bursting of the ISSC mucocele into both sides of the frontal sinus. The two different mechanisms of development of the ISSC mucoceles may vary in relation to the time of onset.
