The potential aggressiveness of sinus osteomas. A report of two cases

The fronto-ethmoidal osteoma is a relatively rare radiological finding and its growth potential, as well as the complications it may lead to, are often underestimated. Osteomas are a frequent cause of mucoceles and sinusitis due to blockage of the nasal ducts but can also present with more dramatic signs such as orbital or intracranial invasion. This knowledge must draw our attention to the need for follow-up of these tumors, whose growth apparently continues after puberty, especially when they are of the spongy type.
