[Sphenoidal metastasis of laryngeal carcinoma].
Metastatic tumors to the nose and paranasal sinuses are very uncommon and metastases to the sphenoid sinus are exceedingly rare. The most common tumor sites from which sphenoid metastases arise are the kidney and the lung. Distant metastases from laryngeal carcinoma are rare, the most common sites being the lungs, skeletal system, and liver. We report a patient with a supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma who had metastases to the sphenoid sinus. The management of this entity is described and cases reported in the literature are reviewed.
