Title

Myxoma of the Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses : Report of a Case

Author(s)

Abstract

Myxomas are benign connective tissue tumors composed of stellate and spindle - shaped cells with benign - appearing nuclei lying in a myxoid stroma. They are usually found in the heart, soft tissues, and bones. Myxomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are very rare. They are benign but of a locally invasive nature. Recurrent rate is high because of the difficulty to excise them completely. This article presents a case of myxoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that extensively invaded the brain and orbits causing blindness. After three resections, also with a transbasal craniotomy in the second operation, the patient remains free from the disease.
