%X Background Fibro-osseous (FO) lesions are slow-growing benign lesions in the paranasal sinuses. They include osteomas, fibrous dysplasia (FD), and ossifying fibro-ma (OF). Fibro-osseous (FO) lesions are frequently asymptomatic, and they are incidentally found on imaging. They are characterized by different histological, radiological, and clinical variants. Depending on symptoms, size, location, and extension, the treatment strategy varies significantly for these lesions. Objective We aim to compare the age, onset, gender, clinical presentation, postoperative improvement, and complications of a fibro-osseous lesion in the paranasal sinuses. Methods A retrospective analysis was done targeting patients diagnosed with benign fibro-osseous (FO) lesions, and the incidence among 403 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) at Aseer Central Hospital, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was reviewed from January 2013 to January 2022. Results A total of seven patients were found; five patients were diagnosed with osteoma, and two were diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia. There were no ossifying fibroma cases. The patients' mean age was 25.5 ± 12.9 years old. Four (57.1%) patients were males, and three (42.9%) were females, with a male/female ratio of 1.25:1. The most common locations were the frontal sinus and ethmoid sinus, and the two cases of fibrous dysplasia involved almost all facial bones. The endonasal endoscopic approach was chosen to treat all seven patients. Conclusions There are differences in the onset age, location, and complications postoperatively among osteoma and fibrous dysplasia patients. Osteoma most commonly occurs in the frontal sinus, while fibrous dysplasia involved all facial bones in our study. Endoscopic surgery is currently the primary strategy for treatment.
