  • Title: [Glioma of the sphenoid sinus in an adult].
    Author: Sanz JJ, Benítez PA, Bernal Sprekelsen M, Alòs L.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2000; 51(6):539-42. PubMed ID: 11142794.
    Abstract:
    Benign congenital lesions resulting from the deficient regression of neuroglial tissue in normal embryonic development are called gliomas. They are usually located in the nasofrontal region and are diagnosed in the postnatal period. They are included in the differential diagnosis of nasofrontal midline masses. We review the case of a 62 year-old woman who was originally studied for a polypoid mass in the left nasal cavity. CT revealed occupation of the left ethmoidofrontal recess and turbinate by a glioma. We report this case as a rare finding in a 62 year-old woman because of its importance in differential diagnosis. We reviewed craniofacial gliomas.
