Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Paranasal sinus cancers are rare, affecting fewer than 1 in 100,000 individuals annually.
  • Adenocarcinoma specifically is an uncommon histology within this rare cancer group.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of frontal headache and forehead swelling.
  • Imaging revealed a soft-tissue mass in the frontal sinus with intracranial and orbital invasion.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed adenocarcinoma of the frontal sinus.
  • The patient experienced tumor recurrence after initial surgical resection.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare malignancies in the differential diagnosis of persistent sinus symptoms.
