Abstract

Conill C, Vargas A, Capurro S and Olondo ML

Metastatic tumours to the nasal sinus are an exceedingly rare event. We describe a case of metastases to the nasal sinus simultaneously with brain metastases from a colonic adenocarcinoma. An 85-year-old man came to our hospital presenting epistaxis and headache. Diagnosis of the biopsy specimen showed it was a metastasis of the previously managed tumour. The patient underwent palliative radiotherapy.
