[Primary nasal sinus malignant melanomas].

Primary malignant melanoma of the mucosa of the nasal and paranasal sinuses is rare, difficult to treat, and usually has a poor prognosis. Seven cases, six women and one man (mean age 76.5 years), were treated at the Hospital 12 de Octubre (Madrid, Spain) during the period 1982-1994. The presenting symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, morphology, therapeutic modalities, histological evaluation, and clinical course were reviewed. Three patients were treated surgically and three received palliative irradiation. All had local recurrence or distant metasfases within 15 months after concluding treatment. The seventh patient refused treatment.

[Congenital medially invasive cholesteatoma of the temporal bone: supralabyrinthine dissemination and possible origin in the area of the geniculate ganglion].

Congenital cholesteatoma appears in about 2% of all cholesteatomas. The possibility of deep extension producing a medially invasive petrous bone cholesteatoma is very uncommon because congenital cholesteatomas are not as aggressive as acquired ones. The onset of facial palsy in a patient with a history of several years of hearing loss must suggest this possibility. We reviewed in this report the main concepts on this subject after bibliographic review and a case report.
