Abstract
Carcinoma of the frontal sinus is rare. Treatment is controversial, and prognosis is poor, The etiology is unknown, although some risk factors for other paranasal sinus carcinomas have been identified. A 70‐year‐old male presented with proptosis and x‐ray findings consistent with a mucocele of the frontal sinus. At operation the patient was felt to have a cholesteatoma. Pathologic diagnosis was verrucous carcinoma of the frontal sinus. The case is discussed and the literature is reviewed.Keywords
