A Case of Osteoma in the Nasal Cavity / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Osteoma is a slow-growing benign tumor composed of mature bone. Osteoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is usually asymptomatic and most commonly occurs in the frontal sinus, followed by the ethmoidal and maxillary sinus. The occurrence in the sphenoidal sinus and nasal cavity is very rare. We present a case report of a patient with an isolated osteoma in the right nasal cavity presenting with nasal obstruction.
