Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Epidermoid tumors are rare intracranial and sinonasal neoplasms.
  • Frontal and ethmoid sinuses are infrequent origins for these tumors.

Observation:

  • A massive bifrontal epidermoid tumor was discovered in a 76-year-old male.
  • The patient was virtually asymptomatic despite the tumor's size.

Findings:

  • This case represents the 28th reported instance of an epidermoid tumor originating in the frontal or ethmoid sinus.
  • The tumor arose from the ethmoid sinus and presented bilaterally in the frontal region.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for sinonasal epidermoid tumors to grow significantly without overt symptoms.

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering rare tumors in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses.
  • Contributes to understanding the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of these uncommon tumors.
