Most cases occur in the frontal sinus, followed by the ethmoid sinus, and rarely in the maxillary sinus and sphenoid sinus. Therefore, for adult patients with very small bone tumors and no obvious symptoms, no treatment is required, but regular X-ray examinations should be performed. If the tumor is very large and has caused facial deformation or obvious symptoms, surgical removal can be performed.

The traditional surgical approaches for removing ethmoid sinus osteoma include extranasal open surgery, such as lateral nasal incision approach, craniofacial combined approach and other procedures. Removal of ethmoid sinus osteoma is one of the optional surgical approaches, but whether this method is the best choice has always been controversial. It depends on your own choice.
