Osteogenic sarcoma of the frontal sinus.
Occurrence of osteogenic sarcoma in the craniofacial bones is limited. The case presented here is only the second reported case of osteogenic sarcoma of the frontal sinus, occurring in an 80-year-old woman who presented with proptosis and developed neurologic symptoms. The radiographic appearance was of a diffuse opacity with thickening of the calvaria. Tumor tissue was adherent to the dura, and there was a fairly good initial response with the methotrexate sodium-cisplatin combination chemotherapy used, but the outcome was fatal.
