Abstract

Osteomas are relatively common, benign, slow-growing neoplasms. Mainly occurring in frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Endoscopic surgery plays an important role in management of ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal osteomas.
We discuss our experiences in endoscopic treatment of giant osteomas.
In giant osteomas Draf III or Lothrop approaches are prefered. Periostium of the orbit was intact in all cases. Discharge of cerebrospinal liquid was not observed.
Size of tumor determines type of surgical aprroach. Endoscopic surgery is more and more popular way in surgical treatment of giant osteomas.
