title: Superior turbinate osteoma: a case report.
abstract: Turbinate osteoma is very rare and only three middle turbinate cases have been previously reported in the literature. A case of superior turbinate osteoma has never been reported before. This is a report of a 61-year-old female presenting superior turbinate osteoma with headaches. The osteoma was resected by endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and the patient was relieved of headaches.
