ABSTRACT
Cholesterol granuloma is usually described in association with middle ear diseases, but has also been reported to be found in the paranasal sinuses and orbit. It is currently thought that impaired drainage, hemorrhage and inadequate ventilation play significant roles in its pathogenesis. Histopathologic examination of cholesterol granuloma shows abundant foreign body giant cells, cholesterol crystal clefts, histiocytes surrounded by a dense fibrous capsule. We report our endoscopic surgical experience in one female patient with a large cholesterol granuloma of the sphenoid sinus presenting bilateral visual involvement and brain invasion.
