Abstract 

A 1.7-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with the first impression of ossified fibroma in the right ethmoid sinus. However, histopathological examination of the surgical specimen turned out to be meningioma. The mass was completely removed endoscopically assisted by image-guided navigation system. This is the youngest ectopic meningioma case reported. The clinic figure and treatment of primary paranasal sinus meningioma is briefly discussed. Considering the young age and small blood volume of this patient, careful preoperative preparation and the cooperation of multi disciplines were of vital importance.
