“…The most common malignancies that metastasize to the sinonasal tract are carcinomas of the kidney, bronchus and breast [1,6,9], while only occasionally carcinomas of the endometrium, prostate, liver, bladder, seminomas, neuroblastomas, carcinomas of the thyroid gland, cuta- neous melanomas [10][11][12][13][14]. Metastases to distant organs occur by embolic hematogenous dissemination, including rarely the sinuses, because of low vascularity of their mucosa [15].…”

Metastases of malignant tumors to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rare. A review of the world’s literature reports only four cases of antral metastases from carcinoma of gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a stenosing adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon with metastases within the maxillary sinus. The ENT physical examination revealed a mass involving the right alveolar ridge, the right hard palate. CT scan of the head and the neck showed a large and irregular mass involving the right maxillary sinus, the infratemporal fossa and the pterygoid muscles with resorption of the bone of the posterior portion of the right alveolar ridge and of the posterior wall of the right maxillary sinus. The neoplastic tissue showed marked positivity for CEA and expressed cytokeratin 20, confirming the diagnosis of metastases to the maxillary sinus from colorectal adenocarcinoma. When a differential diagnosis between a second primary tumor of the maxillary sinus and a metastasis has to be carried out, the gastrointestinal tract should be taken into account and detailed immunohistochemical should be performed.

“…2 The nasal tip is a very unusual location of cutaneous metastases. The development of clown nose has been described in a few patients with chordoma, 5 kidney tumor, [6][7][8] hepatocellular carcinoma, 9 seminoma, 6 leukemia, 10 breast cancer, 6,11 cervix carcinoma, 12 and esophageal carcinoma. 13,14 Several cases has been described originated from lung carcinoma, including anaplastic large cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma.…”

Background: Skin metastases occur in 0.7% to 9% of all patients with cancer and are usually considered a late event in the evolution of most visceral carcinomas. The development of a nodular metastatic lesion on the nasal tip is known as clown nose sign. Main observation:We report a 64-year-old man that developed a nodular lesion on his nasal tip as first manifestation of squamous lung carcinoma. Conclusion:The biopsy of the cutaneous metastasis may be helpful to histopathologically confirm the suspected primary tumour avoiding invasive diagnostic proce-

“…Metastatic neoplasms in the larynx are unusual, accounting for 0.09% to 0.4% of all laryngeal tumors 1) . On the other hand, Friedmann and Osborn 5) reported that 23.9% of patients with metastasis to the head and neck have laryngeal and/or tracheal diseases at autopsy. The difference in the frequency of this disease in clinical and autopsy cases suggests the possibility that the actual clinical prevalence of laryngeal metastasis has been underestimated.…”

: Metastatic neoplasms in the larynx from remote primary tumors are uncommon, and laryngeal metastasis originating from the colorectum is extremely rare. We herein report a case of metastatic laryngeal carcinoma originating from sigmoid colon cancer in a 54 -year -old female. Curative partial laryngectomy was performed, and the patient remains alive with a good quality of life and no signs of recurrence seven years and eight months after sigmoidectomy and four years and eight months after partial laryngectomy.
