Abstract

Osteoma is the most frequent benign tumor of paranasal sinuses. Usually osteomas are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during radiological imaging for other reasons. A giant osteoma with intraorbital extension is rare. Plain radiograph may be useful; however CT scan is the best modality of investigation for diagnosing and treatment planning. In asymptomatic osteomas, serial follow-up can be done. Surgery is performed in the presence of symptoms and signs. We report a case of 60 years old woman with a large osteoma of right ethmoid sinus extending into the ipsilateral orbital cavity.
