and orbital contents, as well as nerves, dura, brain and cavernous sinus. MR provides crucial diag­nostic key information that directly affects stag­ing and the optimal management modality. Combined ndings of CT and MRI alone may be diagnostic for certain lesions.
Tumour Biopsy
Radiological features may help focus the list of differential diagnoses, but a biopsy is usually still be essential to reach a denitive diagnosis espe­cially for soft tissue tumours.
Alternatively, radiological evaluation avoids the risk of unnecessary and potentially dangerous biopsies, either from highly vascular tumours, like JNA, or neural lesions involving the intracra­nial cavity like meningoencephaloceles.
Unlike soft tissue lesions, bony lesions within the nasal cavity can be diagnosed with reasonable accuracy by nasal endoscopy and CT scan in the absence of histological analysis.
Most biopsies can be performed endoscopically transnasally and generally provide a denitive diagnosis. Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that tissue samples may not be representative of the tumour. Misleading results could arise from super­cial samples or biopsy of overlying inammatory
tissue obscuring the actual pathology. Whenever there is doubt over the histopathological typing failing to reect the clinical and imaging ndings, further biopsies should be taken. Consideration should be given to whether the biopsy can be done safely and adequately in the outpatient clinic, par­ticularly if bleeding is likely to occur, or whether it is more suitable in the operating theatre, and if nec­essary, under general anaesthesia. Another factor to consider during tissue sampling is to restrict sam­pling to biopsy needs and avoid disturbing tumour attachment areas; total resection should be reserved for denitive surgery as sinonasal tumours are best treated de novo, rather than treating residual or recurrent disease l [1, 2, 46].
Fibro-Osseous Lesions (FOLS)
FOLS of the sinonasal cavity yield a variety of histopathological entities. This chapter will focus on the most common, namely, osteoma, brous dysplasia and ossifying broma. In common, the normal bone architecture of these proliferative disorders or neoplasms is replaced with varying amounts of collagen, broblasts and bone. In general, they may present within the sinonasal cavity from small, asymptomatic ndings to mas­sive symptomatic lesions (Fig.31.1) resulting in

aesthetic deformities. Their key characteristics are summarised in Table31.3 [1].
Osteoma
Osteomas are the most common sinonasal cavity benign tumour, in which malignant transforma­tion does not occur [7, 8]. They are present in approximately 3% of all CT scans for sinus symptoms [9]. The frontal sinuses are the most common site of occurrence, followed by the eth­moid, maxillary and rarely the sphenoid sinuses [1, 9, 10]. Even though about half of them do not grow after initial diagnosis, the rest grow slowly from 0.44 to 6.0 mm per year [1113]. Whilst they can occur at any age, most are diagnosed between the third and fourth decades of life with a slight male predominance (range 1.5 to 3.1 male: 1 female) [10, 1416].
The aetiology of osteomas is debated with
developmental, traumatic and infectious theories.
Among them, the developmental theory argues that uncontrolled bone formation is the result of activated embryogenic stem cells that were previ­ously silent earlier in life. On the contrary, trau­matic and infectious theories propose an inammatory process as the initiating factor in bony tumour formation [1618].
Osteomas have three distinct histological types. Eburnated or ivory osteomas are composed of a lobulated compact dense cortical bone that contains a minimal amount of brous tissue with­out evidence of Haversian ducts. Osteoma spon­giosum or the mature osteomas are composed of spongy cancellous bone that are characterised by bony trabeculae divided by conspicuous amount of brous tissue, containing broblasts in differ­ent stages of maturation and a great number of collagen bres, whilst the connective tissue may often contain distended thin-walled vessels. The third type, the mixed osteomas, contains ele­ments from both ivory and mature types [10, 14,
1822].

Clinical Features
Most osteomas are asymptomatic and diagnosed as incidental radiological ndings [23], com­monly found in frontal and fronto-ethmoidal sinuses, and frontal headache and facial pain are the most commonly associated clinical symp­toms. These symptoms are a consequence of a compromised sinus outow tract rather than the osteoma causing pain itself. Even though tumours may be small (Fig.31.2), the drainage obstruction of the sinus triggers inammation leading to chronic or recurrent acute rhinosinus­itis, as well as mucus retention and mucocele formation. Furthermore, symptoms such as facial deformity, exophthalmia, diplopia, epiph­ora, blindness and intracranial complications are likely to develop with intraorbital or intra­cranial expansion with encroachment of perior-
bita or dura. (Fig.31.3). If the barrier function of dura is involved, serious intracranial compli­cations such as cerebrospinal uid (CSF) leak, meningitis or brain abscess, as well as an intra­cranial mucocele or pneumatocele, could occur. The initial presentation of the lesion could, on occasions, be due to the secondary effects of the bony lesion.
If the lesion is visible within the nasal cavity, endoscopy may reveal the rm nasal mass typi­cally covered with normal mucosa. The CT scan appearances may show a well-circumscribed, very dense and homogeneous cortical lesion for the eburnated histological type or a ground-glass pattern with a gradually decreasing density for the mature or spongiose histological type. Thus, the diagnosis can be made without further imag­ing [24].

Should multiple osteomas be present, this could reect the rare diagnosis of Gardner syn­drome. Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with benign skin/soft tissue neoplasms and colorectal polyposis that requires timely assessment due to high incidence of malignancy.
Imaging
The origin and attachment sites of an osteoma can normally be seen by reviewing tri-planar CT images. This three-dimensional understand-

ing is essential, especially if surgery is planned; the osteoma should be carefully delineated to evaluate a tailored surgical approach. However, the lobulated nature of some osteomas and invaginations into the contours of the sinuses may mask the exact site of origin. In this situa­tion, MRI imaging is recommended, especially when the osteoma encroaches adjacent perior­bita and dura. MRI denes the relationship with critical neurovascular structures and adjacent soft tissues (Fig.31.4) [1]. MRI is the modality of choice during pregnancy, if proptosis occurs.

It can also reveal subtle ndings including het­erogenous low-to-intermediate signal intensity, in comparison to the hyper-attenuation detected in CT scans [24].
Management ofOsteomas
The management of osteomas is based on pre­senting symptoms. As most small osteomas are

incidental ndings and principally slow-growing tumours, current consensus suggests ‘watchful waiting’ with periodic scans, typically with MRI to reduce radiation exposure [1, 13]. Surgical resection is indicated should there be signicant symptoms either at the time of presentation or during follow-up. Other indications for surgery include rapid growth of the tumour (over 1mm in diameter per year), even though asymptom­atic. More denitive indications for surgery include extensive invasion or encroachment upon skull base, orbit or optic nerve, especially if there is risk of intracranial and intraorbital complications.
The Surgical Approach
The surgical aim of complete tumour removal whilst preserving neighbouring neurovascular structures and avoiding possible complications is generally best achieved through an endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA). However, the opti­mal choice of approach is determined by the localisation, extent and attachment sites of the disease and involved critical structures, as well as the risk of surgical approach. This may include an endoscopic resection (EEA), a traditional external approach, or a combination of the two [1, 2530]. Additional factors to consider include paranasal sinus anatomical variations, comorbid­ities that would affect the duration of surgery, the availability of required instrumentation and equipment and the individual surgeon’s experi­ence. These are all key issues in case-based decision- making, inuenced by the choice and preferences of the patient and the surgeon. Figure 31.5 shows a fronto-orbito-ethmoidal osteoma case with extreme intraorbital extension operated solely through an EEA.

The Endoscopic Approach
Endoscopic techniques that implement powered instrumentation and navigation systems have evolved to address most surgical goals for oste­oma removal. Nowadays, even large lesions can safely be resected endonasally utilising cavita­tion techniques that drill the core of the lesion whilst leaving a very thin shell of bone at tumour edges, which can then be delicately dissected and removed from the adjacent structures [28]. The risk of an injury to nearby structures should be evaluated well before surgery and documented during informed consent. Accordingly, the sur­geon should be prepared to avoid or efciently manage all potential risks, such as performing a multilayer duraplasty for a CSF leak should this occur during surgery. However, considering the benign nature of osteoma with almost negligible growth of residual osteoma, it is most important to limit postoperative morbidity. Leaving a thin residual shell of osteoma at critical sites, such as overlying the optic nerve or a thin skull base, could be a very wise option in some cases.
The frontal sinus poses a specic challenge for EEA.Grading systems [31] for this region have been proposed to facilitate recommenda­tions for the optimum approach with regard to endoscopic, external or combined surgical resection [26]. These limitations include oste­oma extension lateral to sagittal plane of lamina papyracea, anterior and superior attachment, intracranial and advanced intraorbital extension, narrow (<1cm) anterior-posterior frontal sinus diameter and over 50% obliteration or total obliteration of the frontal sinus. However, con­tinuously improving instrumentation such as angled drills and navigation systems, as well as developments in endoscopic techniques, e.g. Draf procedures (especially Draf III), has grad­ually expanded the indications of EEA. In the hands of experienced surgeons and in suitable cases, very large osteomas lling the whole frontal sinus can be removed endonasally. Even far lateral frontal and supraorbital attachments
can be managed with further advanced tech­niques that create an endonasal corridor by sus­pending the periorbita inferolaterally to temporarily transpose orbital contents away from the surgical approach to the frontal sinus lateral portion [3235].
Case based decision-making should be made to determine the feasibility of managing intracra­nial or intraorbital extensions through EEA, as most dural defects can be repaired endoscopi­cally. The major limiting factors reported are extreme superior or lateral extension along the posterior table, beyond the reach of current instrumentation. For lesions located at the far lat­eral extreme of pneumatised frontal sinuses, EEA can be combined with a frontal trephine or trans­orbital endoscopic approach if necessary [26,
3539].
Currently, there are limited areas within the maxillary and frontal sinuses that cannot be effectively reached endoscopically and may require a combined or a solely external approach. Thus, the indications for external approaches have receded. External approaches are still indi­cated when adequate access to the tumour cannot be achieved by EEA alone, in far lateral disease, where reconstruction of the anterior sinus wall is needed.
External Approach Surgery
Historically, the Caldwell-Luc procedure, mid­facial degloving, lateral rhinotomy, external frontoethmoidectomy through a Lynch-Howarth incision and osteoplastic frontal sinus (OFS) approach through coronal incision are classic approaches that were all used routinely [1, 5, 8,
11, 22, 23, 2531, 35]. Recently, the transorbital
endoscopic approach with a near-invisible blepharoplasty incision could additionally offer more than the lateral trephination [38]. When these techniques fall in short, OFS approach is the approach of choice. With this approach the whole frontal sinus, including extreme lateral portion, can be managed perfectly with maxi-

mum exposure. Classically, after removing the tumour, the entire frontal sinus mucosa would be removed, drilling out the sinus walls burred, the frontal outow tract sealed and the sinus obliterated by abdominal fat. Provided that the outow pathway is kept intact, fat obliteration may be avoided, thus maintaining a functioning frontal sinus [11, 40]. Traditional external approaches require skin incisions that could increase the morbidity through a visible scar, paraesthesia, pain or mucocele formation. However, this should be balanced by facilitating optimum access to large osteomas and faster tumour resection whilst also enabling oblitera­tion, cranialisation or CSF repair, if required.
Fibrous Dysplasia (FD)
FD is a slowly progressive disease accounting for 5% to 10% of all bone tumours that is character­ised by the replacement of medullary bone by abnormal brous tissue with different stages of bone metaplasia; thus it rather causes deforma­tion but rarely destruction [1, 41, 42].
It presents in 80% as monostatic (MFD) vari­ant or less commonly as a polyostotic variant. The MFD typically diagnosed within the rst three decades of life. The polyostotic variant (PFD) affects the craniofacial bones, and in par­ticular skull base and maxillary involvement, much more commonly (50-to-100% times more common). A subgroup of the PFD variant is known as McCune-Albright syndrome, and addi­tional features include hyper-functional endocri­nopathies and skin discolourations.
Whilst PFD tends to present earlier in child­hood, disease progression after adolescence is rare and minor [41, 42]. The most common symptom is painless bony enlargement that may lead to facial asymmetry, followed by proptosis, diplopia, exophthalmos, vision impairment, cra­nial nerve compression, obstructive sinusitis and headache.
CT images show ground-glass appearance on remodelled bones (Fig.31.6). FD can have <0.5% incidence of malignant transformation [1]. Asymptomatic FD patients are best man­aged with watchful observation. Patients with encasement of the optic nerve (ON) by FD require regular ophthalmologic assessment and long-term radiological surveillance [4144]. Current evidence indicates that surgery has no role to pre- emptively decompress ON in asymptomatic patients. However, surgical decompression should be prompt if the patient becomes symptomatic for cranial neuropathies and impaired vision. Surgery is also indicated to relieve pain or address facial disgurement. The location and extent of the disease and the objective of surgical intervention determine the surgical approach. Nowadays EEA is the option of choice, especially for ON decom­pression. External approaches still have an important role in correcting facial asymmetry that may include radical excision and recon­struction (Fig.31.7) [4145].

Ossifying Fibroma (OF)
OF is another painless expansile bro-osseous tumour characterised by its aggressive growth, especially in its ‘juvenile’ histological subtype that cause contour deformity and loss of anatomi­cal shape whilst having a high risk for recurrence after surgical resection.
Juvenile OF is classied into psammomatoid and trabecular lesions. The psammomatoid OF is the most commonly encountered and typically occurs in the sinonasal and orbital bones. The age of onset of OF has a wider range compared to the trabecular OF.The trabecular lesions are usually found in the mandible.
Features include nasal obstruction, ocular symptoms, facial deformity, proptosis, headache and sinonasal disease. Females have 5:1 prepon­derance [1, 46, 47].
a
OF is seen as round to oval expansile masses on CT, with multiple loculations and foci of cal­cications as well as soft tissues surrounded by thick bony walls. The sharply dened outer mar­gins of OF are a characteristic radiological fea­ture for OF. The differential diagnosis includes brous dysplasia (FD) or a malignant tumour, but these have poorly dened margins [47] (Fig.31.8).
The optimum treatment of OF is based on complete surgical removal, even in the early stage of disease, in order to avoid extensive bone destruction due to the locally invasive behaviour of the tumour. The surgical approach should be tailored to achieve complete resec­tion where possible, according to the loca­tion and extend of the OF, with the intent of minimising the risk of recurrence [1, 2,
4147].
