Özet

Aim: To evaluate radiologically the benign bone masses in the sinonasal region and their relationship with adjacentstructures.Methods: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sinonasal region were evaluated retrospectively between 2010-2016. Based on radiological findings, 41 cases rarely seen dueto their size, histopathologic features and localizations were included in the study.Results: Twenty-two of 41 cases had osteoma, sixteen had fibrous dysplasia, others had aneurysmal bone cyst,enchondroma and brown tumor.Conclusion: When imaging benign bone tumours of sinonasal region, MDCT and MRI are the frequently used modalities. Radiography may show the presence of a lesion in some cases but is insufficient when it is aimed to determinethe nature of the lesion as well as the relations between the lesion and the neighbouring structures.
