The authors report 10 cases of frontal sinus osteoma. The patient group consisted of 5 men and 5 women, ranging in age from 15 to 60 years. The most common revelating symptom was headache. Treatment depends on tumor size, its course, and complications. Transfacial incision was used in 3 cases and Cairns Unterberger approach in 5 cases. Post operatively anatomic and esthetic results were good, without recurrences.
