Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of therapy. Surgical intervention is only recommended for the management of symptomatic osteoma.[1]

Surgery

  • Treatment for an osteoma that is causing symptoms is surgery.
  • The types of surgery that may be used are:[1]
    • Medial maxillectomy with a lateral rhinotomy incision: removal of part of the upper jaw bone through an incision along the side of the nose.
    • Craniofacial resection: rebuilding the bones of the face and skull.
    • Endoscopic resection: removal of the osteoma through a thin tube inserted into the sinus area
  • Surgery and an endoscopic resection may be used together to try to completely remove the tumor.
