Resumen

Los melanomas malignos primarios del seno esfenoidal son tumores muy poco frecuentes. Presentamos el caso clínico de un varón de 56 años remitido desde el Servicio de Neurología por dolor ocular y cefalea de varios meses de evolución y sin antecedentes personales de interés. La exploración revelaba una parálisis del VI par craneal, diplopía y ptosis palpebral. Las pruebas de imagen (TAC y RMN) mostraron un proceso expansivo del seno esfenoidal con extensión hacia el seno cavernoso derecho. Se practicó C.E.N.S. (Cirugía Endoscópica Nasosinusal) con toma de biopsia que confirmó el diagnóstico. El paciente fue tratado con Radioterapia y tras un seguimiento de 4 años el paciente continúa vivo. Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica a propósito de esta patología cuyo diagnóstico diferencial de malignidad debe realizarse con los carcinomas epidermoides, adenocarcinomas y linfomas de dicha localización

Abstract

The primary malignant melanomas of sphenoidal sinus are very uncommon tumours. We are reporting a clinical case of a 56 years-old male who was sent from the Neurology Department with ocular pain and headache of several months evolution and without personal history. Exploration revealed a VIth palsy, diplopia and ptosis. The complementary imaging tests (CT and MR) showed and expansive tumour of the sphenoidal sinus involving the right cavernous sinus. A F.E.S.S. with biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis. Our patient was treated by Radiotherapy and after a 4 year follow-up period he is still alive. We have carried to a bibliographic review of this pathology whose differential diagnosis must be done with epidermoid carcinomas, adenocarcinomas and lymphomas on that location
