Simultaneous Nasal Cavity and Brain Metastases from Primary Colon Adenocarcinoma

Case Report

Conill C, Vargas A, Capurro

Abstract

Metastatic tumours to the nasal sinus are an exceedingly rare event. We describe a case of metastases to the nasal sinus simultaneously with brain metastases from a colonic adenocarcinoma. An 85-year-old man came to our hospital presenting epistaxis and headache. Diagnosis of the biopsy specimen showed it was a metastasis of the previously managed tumour. The patient underwent palliative radiotherapy.
