“…The overall survival over 5 years ranges from 31 to 46%. 4,5 Apparently, adenocarcinoma has a better survival over 5 years (65%) than squamous cell carcinoma (35%), 12 The case we report here had two predictors of poor outcome: intracranial involvement 13 and orbital extension. Patients submitted to craniofacial resection without orbital involvement have a 5-year survival of 69% compared with 29% for those with involvement, including periosteum alone.…”

“…The peak incidence is when close to the sixth decade. 4,10 The case reported here is a typical example of paranasal cancer, with a silent onset simulating a benign disease. The advanced stage of the tumors at presentation and the complex anatomy of the region make it difficult to perform resection with adequate margins.…”

a b s t r a c tCONTEXT: 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 with wood dust. On examination a non-tender swelling was noted over her right forehead next to the medial aspect of the right orbit. CT scan showed a soft-tissue mass involving frontal sinus with intracranial invasion through the posterior wall. The anterior ethmoid sinus and the medial aspect of the right orbit were also involved. MRI demonstrated dural thickening in communication with the frontal mass. She underwent an en-bloc tumor resection by craniotomy including orbital clearance. Histology revealed an adenocarcinoma. After surgery she had tumor recurrence, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy were started resulting in partial improvement.

BACKGROUND: Paranasal sinus squamous cell carcinomas (PNSSCC) account for 3% of all head and neck malignancies. There has been little information on the trends in incidence and survival, and no randomized trials have been conducted to guide therapy. METHODS: Patients with PNSSCC reported to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program from 1973 through 2009 were categorized by sex, age, year of diagnosis, primary site, stage, and treatment. The incidence and survival were then compared across different demographic and disease-related categories by calculating rate ratios (RRs) and mortality hazard ratios along with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: In total, 2553 patients with PNSSCC were identified. While incidence of PNSSCC showed a gradual decline, survival remained largely unchanged.
