Osteoma is one of the rare benign bone tumors and often presented asymptomatic. The current article will present a case report of giant f rontal sinus osteoma and successful surgical treatment. The size of the tumor described is remarkable and among the largest currently reported. In a discussion section, we try to provide the helpful groundwork for this disease’s etiology and describe the surgical approach performed. The purpose of this study is to present the clinical symptoms, radiological findings, and surgical indications of a giant f rontal sinus osteoma with an orbital cavity expansion and secondary VI cranial nerve palsy. Moreover, histological findings of the tumor showed granulomatous inflammation and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with single multinucleated giant cells, leading us to provide additional antibacterial treatment and perform an osteoplastic operation 6 months later.
