An interesting Case of Sinonasal Ossifying Fibroma.

ANOOP R.PRADEEPKUMAR

Abstract


Ossifying fibroma was first decribed by Menzel in 1872. It is a
destructive, deforming ,slow growing benign fibro-osseous
tumour that can occur anywhere in the facial skeleton. This
uncommon tumour can present a diagnostic dilemma for the
clinician and pathologist ,owing to overlapping clinical and
histomorphologic features. We report a case of sinonasal
ossifying fibroma involving both the nasal cavities, the
ethmoids and the right maxillary sinus in a 71 year old male
patient. We did a Lateral Rhinotomy and excision of the mass
and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of
ossifying fibroma. Involvement of ethmoid sinus is rare in this
condition with only 48 cases reported in literature till june
2011.
