Abstract
We report the case of a 5-year-old boy affected by a CMF of the ethmoid sinus invading the papyracea and ethmoidal roof. This is the second case of acquired CMF involving the sinonasal spaces in a pediatric patient. Although this neoplasm is very uncommon, particularly in young patients and at this anatomical site, it is very important to correctly diagnose these tumors for adequate treatment, which generally consists of surgical resection. © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
