Case ReportsOssifying fibroma arising in the right ethmoid sinus and nasal cavity.
Ossifying fibroma, a rare tumor entity, is a well-demarcated benign fibro-osseous tumor composed of bone, fibrous tissue and cementum. It is commonly found in the mandible, but also found in the maxilla and paranasal sinuses. ⋯ With the advent of sinonasal endoscopy in the mid 1980s, and subsequent advances in surgical techniques, endoscopic management of the fibrous-osseous lesions has become possible. In the current case study, we report a successful endoscopic removal of a huge ossifying fibroma located in the right ethmoid sinus and nasal cavity.
