What is sinus osteoma?
Sinus osteoma is a benign bone tumor that typically occurs in the paranasal sinuses, most commonly in the frontal sinus. These slow-growing tumors are often asymptomatic but can cause issues if they obstruct sinus drainage or lead to complications like sinusitis. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies, such as CT scans. Treatment is generally not required unless the osteoma causes significant symptoms, in which case surgical removal may be necessary.
