Abstract

Metastatic tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are much less common than primary cancer in this location. The clinical symptomatology is not specific. We report a case of frontal metastasis of a 49-year-old patient treated for a rectal adenocarcinoma without other secondary localizations. The treatment is based on radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Hence the value of recognizing sinus metastases and differentiating them from infection affection.
