Objective:
To study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and management of multiple myeloma involving sphenoid sinus.
Method:
The clinical data of 2 patients with multiple myeloma involving sphenoid sinus were reported and the relevant literatures were also reviewed.
Result:
Diplopia and headache were the common symptoms of the patients, and there were also some symptoms related to other organs. Patients often had repeated medical treatments and were finally diagnosed by the biopsy of sphenoid sinus. The disease progressed rapidly in the young patient.
Conclusion:
Characteristics of multiple myeloma are complicated. Biopsy of the sphenoid sinus is meaningful for patients with both sphenoid sinus tumor and systematic symptoms, especially those with rapid progress.
