[Frontal sinus carcinoma (author's transl)].
Two cases of carcinoma of the frontal sinus (undifferentiated carcinoma of squamous epithelium and transitional cell carcinoma) are described. Clinically, there are difficulties in the differential diagnosis from infections processes, while, roentgenologically, the image is confused with those of mucocele, pyocele and osteomyelitis. The clinical symptoms, as exophthalmos, diplopia, pain and swelling of the supraorbital region, indicate an extension of the tumor into the orbit and the destruction of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus.


RESULTS
Radical removal and radio-therapy.


CONCLUSIONS
Very bad.
