ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fibrosarcomas of the paranasal sinuses and skull base are uncommon tumors. Traditionally, "open approach" surgery remains the mainstay for treatment of choice for these tumors.METHODS:
A 49-year-old man underwent resection of a right anterior skull base fibrosarcoma using the endoscopic approach.RESULTS:
Close follow-up using both endoscopic and imaging methods over a period of four years has revealed a well-healed skull base with no evidence of recurrence.CONCLUSION:
Significant resistance exists at present for such a technique to deal with malignant diseases of the head and neck but results from advanced centers continue to prove that this may be a technique worth mastering and improving on.
