A 34-year-old African male was referred to the otolaryngology clinic for unilateral (right) supraorbital swelling and post-nasal drip (Fig. 1A). At 4 month follow-up visit the patient was completely recovered with open frontal sinus drainage (Fig. 1B).

Superior wall of the sinus was intact while the frontal sinus floor was eroded and the mass extended into the supero-medial aspect of the orbit (Fig. 2A-B). Then, a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) confirmed the diagnosis of a benign fluid-filled lesion (Fig. 2C).
