    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and treatment options of ossifying fibroma of paranasal sinuses. METHOD: A retrospective evaluation of twenty-three patients with ossifying fibroma of paranasal sinuses was presented. The choice of surgical operations on ossifying fibroma of paranasal sinuses was mainly decided by the location and area of ossifying fibroma. Radical operations were performed in twenty-one patients, ten of them through a lateral rhinotomy approach, eight through nasal endoscopic approach, four through Caldwell-Luc approach, one through coronal approach. RESULT: Two patients were performed partial resection by nasal endoscopic surgery. Diagnoses of all cases were confirmed by pathology. All patients outcomes were successful, no serious complication from the surgical technique occurred. Twenty cases were followed-up for six months to nineteen years. Two patients recurred. CONCLUSION: Earlier diagnosis, CT scan, proper surgery, and radical resection are the keys to the treatment of ossifying fibroma of paranasal sinuses.
