Ossifying 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. Simple curettage is enough when the fibrous lesions are located in the mandible but a complete en bloc excision is required when these lesions are located in the maxilla and paransal sinuses to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence. 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.
