ABSTRACT
Osteoma is a benign, usually asymptomatic bone tumour, frequently arising in the nose and paranasal sinuses. Surgical treatment is required when the patient becomes symptomatic or presents ophthalmological or neurological complications. Although an endoscopic approach is increasingly used, depending on the size and site of the osteoma, open surgery may be preferable and remains the standard treatment. This technical note describes a case of giant osteoma of the frontal sinus that required a bicoronal approach with reconstruction by a custom-made titanium prosthesis.

Aneurysmal bone cyst are commonly seen in long bone and vertebrae. There are rare in skull bones especially in the temporal bone and zygomatic arch. We report one case in a young male of 15 years old. The main symptom was swelling of the temporo mandibular region. Clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of the disease are discussed with regards to the literature. The diagnosis is based on good imaging and histopathological analysis. Surgical removal is the main treatment.
