Abstract

ResumenLas metástasis a los senos paranasales, aunque se presentan, son raras; dependiendo del área anatómica afectada, los pacientes referirán sintomatología similar a la que se presenta por tumores primarios propios del sitio. En muchas ocasiones, solamente la biopsia podrá ilustrar al médico tratante y permitirle tomar una conducta acorde con el estado del paciente.Presentamos 2 pacientes con tumores metastásicos al seno esfenoidal provenientes de la glándula tiroides y del páncreas, y 2 pacientes con carcinoma renal metastásicos a fosa nasal derecha.

Metastasis to the sinonasal region do appear, but are rare. Depending on the affected anatomical area, patients might have symptoms similar to the ones presented with a primary tumour of the area. In many occasions, only a biopsy will give a final diagnosis and provide the treating physician with a pathway to follow.We present two patients with metastatic carcinoma to the sphenoid from the thyroid and pancreas and two patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the left nasal vestibule.
