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.
鼻窦区域的转移确实会出现，但很罕见。根据受影响的解剖区域，患者可能会出现与该区域原发性肿瘤相似的症状。在很多情况下，只有活检才能给出最终诊断，并为治疗医生提供后续的治疗途径。我们报告了两例甲状腺和胰腺转移至蝶窦的癌患者以及两例左鼻前庭转移的肾细胞癌患者。
