Osteomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the nose and paranasal sinuses. They are commonly seen in the frontal sinus, rarely in the ethmoid sinuses. A 42-year-old female patient presented with intermittent frontal headache and blurred vision. Paranasal computed tomography scans revealed a bony mass in the left ethmoid sinus. Tumor was resected via the endoscopic endonasal approach. After surgical removal, patient became free of her symptoms. Follow-up of two years showed no recurrence.
