Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to the frontal and ethmoid sinus

Frontal sinus adenocarcinoma.

CONTEXT Paranasal sinus cancer is considered rare, with an incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 per year, with the frontal sinus being the primary site in only 0.3%. We report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in the frontal sinus. DESIGN Case report. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old woman, secretary, came in February 1998 with a 4-month history of low intensity frontal headache. She denied contact...

Frontal sinus septations predict the presence of supraorbital ethmoid cells.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study is undertaken to determine if the presence or absence of multiseptated frontal sinuses is associated with the presence or absence of supraorbital ethmoid cells (SOECs). STUDY DESIGN Analysis of prospectively collected data. METHODS Sixty consecutive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were identified from a prospectively collected database at a tertiary-ref...

Metastasis of Prostate Adenocarcinoma to the Testis

INTRODUCTION Prostate carcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed carcinoma in the male population. The most typical places of the metastases are pelvic lymphatic glands, bones and lungs, and very rarely it metastasizes into a testis. The prognostic importance of testicular metastasis of prostate cancer is not yet well-known, due to a very few published cases. According to the known facts, it is...

Advanced Ethmoid Sinus Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Temporary Exudative Retinal Detachment

We describe the case of a 70-year-old male patient with ethmoid sinus adenocarcinoma who developed an exudative retinal detachment (ERD) in the right eye as the first manifestation. Two weeks after presentation, total regression of the ERD was noted. Extensive investigations for local causes of ERD were unrewarding. Finally, we performed a computed tomography scanning of the head that revealed ...
