Abstract

Inferior turbinate osteoma is exceptionally rare. Here we are reporting a case of inferior turbinate osteoma presented with history of left nasal obstruction. CT unveiled osseous hypertrophy of left inferior turbinate. Osteoma was removed endoscopically using hammer and gouge. This is the fourth case to be reported in the world literature and second in India.
