title: Fronto-ethmoid osteoma: the place of surgery.
abstract: Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses are common. Most are, however, asymptomatic and a chance radiographic finding. We describe four cases histories which help to illustrate the benefits and hazards of surgery, and highlight the importance of patient selection. A review of the literature is presented.
