ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 44-year-old man that came to the clinic with exophthalmus and frontal headaches. TC and MRI showed a fronto-sphenoidal mass with extension to the cribiform plate involving the orbit and pushing the eyeball forward. The mass was completely excised through intranasal endoscopic surgery and it was found out to be a mucocele from concha bullosa.

Se presenta el caso de un varón de 44 años que consultó por exoftalmos y cefalea frontal. La tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética demostraron una masa etmoidoesfenoidal con expansión hacia la lámina cribosa que comprometía el volumen orbitario y empujaba el globo ocular hacia delante. La masa fue eliminada totalmente por cirugía endoscópica intranasal, descubriendo que se trataba de un mucocele originado en la concha bullosa (AU)

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract is an unusual neoplasm with differential cellular differentiation. Microscopically, sarcomatoid carcinomas have an element of squamous-cell carcinoma and a pleomorphic sarcoma-like component, which may simulate granulation tissue, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, osteosarcoma, or malignant giant-cell tumor of soft tissues.

El carcinoma de oído medio es una entidad infrecuente y, como además, su clínica inicial semeja la de una otitis crónica, su diagnóstico suele ser tardío, en estado avanzado y con mal pronóstico en la mayoría de ellos. El caso que presentamos es un carcinoma de oído medio con gran extensión que llega incluso a espacio parafaríngeo y porción superior de la parótida, irresecable y con tratamiento paliativo. Analizamos el caso y revisamos la bibliografía (AU)
