| Popis: | Background Fibrosarcomas of the paranasal sinuses and skull base are uncommon tumors. Traditionally, “open approach” surgery remains the mainstay for treatment of choice for these tumors. Methods A 49-year-old man underwent resection of a right anterior skull base fibrosarcoma using the endoscopic approach. Results Close follow-up using both endoscopic and imaging methods over a period of four years has revealed a well-healed skull base with no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion Significant resistance exists at present for such a technique to deal with malignant diseases of the head and neck, but results from advanced centers continue to prove that this may be a technique worth mastering and improving on. |
