Abstract: Paranasal sinus osteomas are benign bone tumors.They are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally on 3% of sinus computed tomography scans [1].They grow slowly, became symptomatic and occasionally cause complications depending on their anatomical site [1].Osteoma with a diameter >30 mm or weighing >110 g is considered a "large" or "giant" osteoma and then surgery is required [2].They are still more infrequent, and lead to intracranial and or orbital complications [3].We report a rare case of a large orbito-ethmoidal osteoma, in order to analyze the epidemiological; clinical; radiological; treatment and histological aspects of this disease because the clinical characteristics and treatment remain controversial.
