Paranasal sinus osteomas are benign tumours, occasionally known to cause complications. They have a tendency to grow slowly, but the growth rate has never been evaluated previously. We retrospectively studied 44 patients with paranasal sinus osteomas. In 13 out of the 23 patients who underwent at least two sinus radiographs at different times some growth was seen. The mean growth rate of these 13 osteomas was 1.61 mm/yr, range 0.44 to 6.0 mm/yr. The endoscopic technique is a good method for the removal of osteomas and obliteration of the frontal sinus does not seem to be necessary. Two patients having osteomas with intracranial expansion are described.
鼻窦骨瘤是良性肿瘤，偶尔会引发并发症。它们往往生长缓慢，但此前从未对其生长速度进行过评估。我们对44例鼻窦骨瘤患者进行了回顾性研究。在23例至少接受过两次不同时间鼻窦X光检查的患者中，有13例出现了一定程度的生长。这13例骨瘤的平均生长速度为每年1.61毫米，范围在0.44至6.0毫米/年之间。内镜技术是切除骨瘤的一种好方法，额窦闭塞似乎没有必要。本文描述了2例骨瘤伴有颅内扩展的患者。
