Ossifying fibroma is a highly uncommon tumor with fibro-osseous nature which originates within the cranio-facial bones. It is a benign lesion consisting of fibrous tissue, bone or osseous tissue and cementum. It is rarely seen in sinonasal tract. It is often symptomless and sometimes achieve a large size. Complete ENT block excision is needed to relieve from clinical manifestations and prevent recurrence. In this case, endoscopic complete excision of ossifying fibroma was done from nasal cavity, ethmoidal sinus and maxillary sinus. Owing to aggressive nature of this lesion and high chance of recurrence, prompt diagnosis and wide surgical excision of this tumor is essential. Here, we are reporting a case of ossifying fibroma at sinonasal area which is an extremely rare location for this lesion.
