Abstract
|
|
|
Primary carcinoma of the frontal sinus is very rare has an incidence of less than 1% of paranasal sinus carcinoma. The tumor has a peak incidence in the fifth and sixth decades. The most common symptoms were frontal swelling and pain. Diagnosis
very
difficult because the symptoms of frontal sinus carcinoma are very similar to those of benign lesion of frontal sinus. Many authors suggested the treatment of frontal sinus carcinoma with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and combination
therapy
but the prognosis was extremly poor. In the present case, we report a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the frontal sinus developed in 45-years-old male who has dealt with heavy metals for over 15 years and underwent surgical resection
of
the
lesion via a frontal craniotomy and endoscopic intranasal approach.
