Osteoma is a rare benign lesion of the skull, with an incidence of 0.6% of all benign tumors of paranasal sinuses. It is commonly asymptomatic, and mostly diagnosed incidentally at the imaging. The most frequent symptoms are headache, nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and facial pain. Prevalence of nasal polyposis in normal population is around 1%. It is very rare that osteoma and nasal polyposis present together. We present a case of patient with bilateral nasal polyposis with left frontoethmoid osteoma.
