사골동 및 비강내에 발생한 골성 섬유종 1례

Ossifying fibroma of the head and neck is most commonly described in mandible and maxilla. A few isolated reports in the literature exhibit the rare existence of this lesion in the nasal bone, orbit, ethmoid sinus, occiput and temporal bone.

We experienced a case of ossifying fibroma involving left ethmoid sinus and nasal cavity, which occured in 18 years old woman as a slow growing mass with exophthalmos. The patient was managed by removal of ossifying fibroma via bicoronal incision.

A review of the recent literatures concerning the sites, radiologic presentation, pathologic differentiation, modality of the therapy is discussed.
