[Ossifying fibroma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus (with 9 cases reported)].
OBJECTIVE
To improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ossifying fibroma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus.


METHODS
The data of 9 cases with ossifying fibroma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus were analyzed retrospectively and the relative literatures were reviewed.


RESULTS
Two cases recurred after operation eight to nine months later and had to receive the second operation but the other 7 cases cured without complications.


CONCLUSIONS
Ossifying fibroma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus was found mainly in juveniles and was a benign tumor with local aggression. Clinical diagnosis was established by the clinical representation, epecially CT scanning. Complete excision of the lesions was the only curing treatment. It is easy to make a proper diagnosis with understanding of the disease characteristic. Prognosis is good after surgical excision.
