Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Allergic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are not normally associated with any bony outgrowths and are unlikely to related.
It may be best to consult an orthopedic surgeon , he or she would be in the best position to determine the nature, reason and treatment for the bony growth.
I hope this helps
