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.

“…On an average, osteomas are detected 17 years before colon polyps begin to appear. 6 In turbinate osteomas, no associated history of facial trauma or nasal surgery had been reported, and paranasal sinus infection appears to be the result of sinus meatal obstruction due to mass effect of the tumor. 3 Paranasal sinus osteomas may occur at any age, but usually present between the second and fourth decade, with a slight male predominance.…”

“…1 It is very rare for an osteoma to arise in the nasal cavity or turbinates. Only five middle turbinate, [2][3][4][5][6] one superior turbinate 7 and two inferior turbinate os teoma cases 8,9 have been reported in the literature to date.…”

“…Continued growth may completely obstruct the sinus ostia or nasal cavity and leads to the development of mucocele. 9 Middle turbinate osteoma has been reported to cause pneumocephalus after extending into the anterior cranial fossa. 10 Although symptoms are generally related to the size of the osteoma and its location, exceptions have been noted.…”

Aim and background: Osteomas are common benign tumors of the paranasal sinuses, but are usually asymptomatic and found as a coincidental finding during routine radiological investigations. The aim is to demonstrate typical radiological findings of osteomas and demonstrate rare occurrence of osteoma in middle turbinate.Case report: Patient presenting with recurrent headaches, left-sided facial pain, and intermittent nasal obstruction was evaluated using Philips Brilliance 40-multislice computed tomography scanner, which showed bilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis with bilateral fluid-filled concha bullosa with left-sided concha bullosa showing a well-defined lesion of bone attenuation suggestive of osteoma. Conclusion:Osteomas can rarely occur in nasal turbinates and may be symptomatic requiring endoscopic/surgical removal.Clinical significance: Radiological investigations are diagnostic for osteomas and play an important role in preoperative planning. Osteomas arising from the turbinates are more easily accessible by endoscopy than sinus osteomas; hence, removal carries less risk. Therefore, it is important to diagnose nasal osteoma when it is small in size, follow it up, and resect it when its size is appropriate for endoscopic surgery.
