- Abstract
A 71-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of progressive exophthalmos. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor occupying the right frontal sinus that compressed the right orbit and eye ball. The tumor was resected through a right frontal craniotomy. The pathologic diagnosis was leiomyoma and similar to the histologic diagnosis of a uterine leiomyoma resected 4 years earlier. We suggest that this rare sinonasal leiomyoma was a benign metastasizing leiomyoma from the uterus to the nasal sinus.
