Leiomyoma of the paranasal sinuses.
The paranasal sinuses are a rare site for tumours of myogenic origin. There has been only one previously reported case in the English literature. We present a case of a leiomyoma filling the anterior ethmoid sinus and middle meatus which was excised via a Patterson's external ethmoidectomy.
