title: [Cholesteatoma of the facial sinuses. Apropos of an ethmoid-orbital cholesteatoma].
abstract: A case of cholesteatoma of the ethmoid extending to the orbit is reported. These cholesteatomas of facial sinuses are rarely reported, those documented involving localization in maxillary or frontal, or ethmoido-frontal or ethmoido-maxillary sinuses. Primary perisinusal cholesteatomas of embryonic origin must be distinguished from the rarer secondary iatrogenic or post-traumatic lesions. Histopathology allows distinction between epidermoid cysts and cholesterol type granulomas. Treatment is by surgery using a wide approach.
