[Adenocarcinoma of the ethmoid sinus in a woodworker: apropos of a case].
We report the case of a 69 year old male who developed an ethmoidal adenocarcinoma in 1984, after having worked as a woodworker for 35 years. Although the relationship between wood dust and ethmoidal cancer has been known since 1965, the exact etiological agent is not identified up to now. A good knowledge of the clinical picture together with the means of screening and the investigations which are available make it possible to identify up to 86% of localised tumours.
