title: [Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses: review of the literature and personal cases].
abstract: The sinusal osteomas: a review of literature and personal cases. The osteoma is a osteogenetic benign tumour formed by a fully developed bone, characterized by a slow growth, which, as far as the maxillo-facial region is concerned, shows to be frequently located in the paranasal sinuses. The osteoma originates from one of the sinus walls and spreads into the sinus cavity itself producing symptoms related to a lesion space occupying. In the present report, taking into consideration 4 personal cases, some literature datas are examined concerning the epidemiology, clinical behaviour and especially the therapeutic implications to be adopted by the surgeon in the presence of sinusal osteoma.
