Ethmoid carcinoma, inverted papilomaAbstract
The authors report a case of a patient of age 72, intervened of sinonasal polyposis in three times, which presented nasal respiratory insufficiency and anosmia. Outpatient study was conducted with diagnosis of sinonasal inverted papilloma recurrence, therefore intervenes again by endoscopic surgery. The pathological study revealed the presence of inverted papilloma in the right nostril and invasive squamous cell carcinoma in left nostril. Subsequently was performed a left ethmoidectomy by a transfacial aproach with a medial resection of the ipsilateral maxillary bone, and removal of medial and inferior orbital walls. Reconstruction was performed with titanium mesh.
