Abstract

Primary carcinoma originating from the frontal sinus is exceptionally rare, in this anatomical region, the manifestation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is infrequently, representing 0.1% of primary malignant neoplasms. The tumor and its association with the neighboring dura and periorbita are accurately depicted through a combination of CT and MR imaging. When surgical resection is the treatment of choice, it will leave a significant defect in the skull to be reconstructed. We report a case of a microsurgical reconstruction following resection of frontal sinus mucoepidermoid carcinoma using anterolateral thigh free flap.
