We describe a case of osteoma in the frontal and maxillary sinuses of a 3‐year‐old Arabian mare, presented due to an inspiratory dyspnoea. The mare underwent two surgical procedures in order to excise the tumour. Twelve months after admission the mare was healthy with no signs of respiratory abnormalities. Sinus radiographs and endoscopy repeated at that time revealed some regrowth of the tumour in the maxillary sinus, however, twenty‐two months following surgery the mare did not show clinical signs of upper airway disease.
