“…It may affect facial bones, most commonly in mandible and less commonly in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses [ 6 – 9 ]. In the paranasal sinuses, it has been reported that CMF occurs in the ethmoid sinus [ 5 , 10 ] frontal sinus [ 11 , 12 ] and sphenoid sinus [ 7 , 11 , 13 – 15 ] (Table 1 ). Some authors have described a female predisposition for intracranial tumors [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign primary tumor which usually affects the metaphyses of the long bone of the lower extremities in childhood and young adults. Rarely, CMF occurs in the skull base and parasinuses, which may be difficult to distinguish from chondrosarcoma or chordoma and other tumors in the head. It is composed of chondroid, myxoid, and fibrous tissue growth in a lobular pattern, infrequently with calcifications. We report one case of CMF involving the sphenoid sinus mimicking a chondrosarcoma. The tumor mass showed calcifications on images and histology.

“…6 CMF has been reported in many craniofacial region sites; however, the tumor is extremely rare in the ethmoid sinus, with only eight cases reported in the English literature (Table 1). 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This tumor type has been described in neonates and adults of both genders. There is no established radiological pattern for CMF due to its rarity.…”

Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Ethmoid Sinus Complicated by a Brain Abscess - A Case Report and Literature Review -

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a relatively rare bone tumor that was first described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1948. CMF of the sinonasal tract is very rare. A 28-year-old male presented with long-standing, intermittent, pulsatile pain in the right temporal area. A computed tomography scan showed a 20 × 19 mm round, bony density in the right ethmoid sinus with fluid collection in the ethmoid and frontal sinuses. Additionally, a cystic lesion with surrounding edema was found in the right frontal lobe. The patient underwent a partial ethmoidectomy and frontostomy. A histological examination showed polygonal and stellate cells in a myxoid and chondroid background with a pattern of lobulation and plaque-like calcification. The bone lesion was revealed as a CMF of the ethmoidal sinus, and the frontal lobe cystic lesion was a brain abscess associated with the CMF. We present the case of a CMF of the ethmoid sinus complicated by a brain abscess.

“…Różnice mogą dotyczyć węchu w ogóle [10] lub jedynie pojedynczych zapachów [13]. Zróżnicowanie wrażliwości węchowej może się wiązać z wieloma czynnikami, takimi jak wiek danej osoby [14,15], jej płeć, waga ciała [14], choroby neurodegeneracyjne [16] czy przebyte infekcje [17][18][19]. Zaburzenia węchowe mogą również wynikać z zanieczyszczenia środowiska [11,20].…”
