Preoperative MRI and CT imaging. (A) Coronar view of a T2 weighted MRI scan showing a solid tumor of the right‐sided inferior turbinate with expansion to and thinning of the hard palate and expulsion of the nasal septum; (B) transversal view of a T2 weighted MRI scan showing a tumor extension of 26 × 21 mm; (C) coronar view of a CT scan with signs of locally expansive tumor growth; and (D) sagittal reconstruction of a CT scan showing a markedly thinning of the bone of the hard palate. CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.

Transnasal endoscopic osteoclastoma resection and histopathological findings. (A) Surgical field after partial resection of the left‐sided IT and the posterior part of the NS with tumor remnants at the nasal floor (*). (B) Completed tumor resection with an exposition of the PM after thinning of the hard palate with a diamond burr. (C) Histopathology shows multinucleated giant cells surrounded by a dense vascular network and mononucleated cells (H&E staining). (D) MRI scan 4 months postsurgery. H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; IT, inferior turbinate; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; MT, middle turbinate; NF, healthy bone of the nasal floor anterior to the tumor site; NP, nasopharynx; NS, nasal septum; PM, palatine mucosa.
