Overview

In 1898, the first description of craniofacial osteoma was reported by Paul Schultze.

In 1951, Eldon J. Gardner (1909–1989) a geneticist first described the occurrence of multiple osteomas in hereditary familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

In 2014, The Lancet published an article named "Did René Descartes have a giant ethmoidal sinus osteoma?" the authenticity has been confirmed by anthropological and historical investigations to be true.
