Abstract

Osteomas are the most frequently observed benign bone tumors of paranasal sinuses. Although they are generally detected by chance during radiological analyses, they may create severe complications after intracranial extension. While computed tomography findings play a key role to differentiate osteoma from other osseous lesions of paranasal sinus, magnetic resonance imaging identifies extension to surrounding structures and possible complications. Osteoma was detected in a 28-year-old female patient who admitted with complaints of headache and difficulty in breathing. Patient was operated after diagnosis; however, we were unable to remove the mass totally due to its location and size. In this article, we report, to our knowledge, the largest defined osteoma case in the literature to date, with ethmoid sinus origin, orbital, nasal cavity and intracranial extension, accompanied with distinctive computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Özet

Osteomlar, paranazal sinüslerin en sık görülen benign kemik tümörleridir. Genellikle radyolojik incelemeler sırasında tesadüfen saptanmalarına rağmen, intrakraniyal uzanım sonrası ciddi komplikasyonlar oluşturabilirler. Bilgisayarlı tomografi bulguları, osteomu paranazal sinüsün diğer kemiksi lezyonlarından ayırmada anahtar rol oynarken manyetik rezonans görüntüleme çevre yapılara uzanımı ve olası komplikasyonları belirler. Baş ağrısı ve nefes almada güçlük yakınmaları ile başvuran 28 yaşında kadın hastada osteom saptandı. Tanı sonrası hasta ameliyat edildi ancak yerleşim yeri ve boyutu nedeni ile kitle total olarak çıkarılamadı. Bu yazıda etmoid sinüs kaynaklı, orbita, burun boşluğu ve intrakraniyal uzanımlı, bildiğimiz kadarıyla literatürde bugüne kadar tanımlanmış en büyük osteom olgusu özgün bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları eşliğinde sunuldu
