Abstract
The natural history of brown tumor of the skull base, a rare and benign condition, has not been adequately documented, particularly after nonsurgical treatment and over a long follow-up period. The authors report a case of brown tumor of the ethmoidal sinus, documenting its clinical, neuroimaging, and pathological features with long-term follow-up results, and review previous reports on this disorder.
