AbstractAn unusual case of a retained airgun pellet in the ethmoid sinus is presented. The patient's only complaint was a severe neuralgic headache. Anatomical basis for this symptom, imaging and successful endoscopic removal of the foreign body are discussed. The philosophy for removal of innocuous foreign bodies, potential pitfalls in surgical management, and a review of the literature are included in the discussion.

The authors present a case report of a retired furniture worker who initially presented with a mucin-secreting adenocarinoma of the right ethmoid sinus. He underwent surgical resection, leaving the nasal septum intact, and topical treatment with 5-fluorouracil. He remained disease free. Three years after his initial presentation he was found to have a left nasal polyp on routine examination. This subsequently proved to be a second primary adenocarcinoma. A review of the literature has not shown any other cases of a second primary adenocarcinoma of the ethmoid sinuses.

Supernumerary Nostril

The supernumerary nostril is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of duplication. A review of the literature shows that only 17 cases have been reported in the world. The supernumerary nostril in association with facial clefting is even more rare, with only three cases reported so far. We are reporting a case of supernumerary nostril in association with complete unilateral cleft lip without cleft palate, which happens to be the first case of its kind to be reported. Most supernumerary nostrils are situated superior to the normal nostrils and very few of them are situated at the same level or below the normal nostrils. In this case, the supernumerary nostril was placed lateral to the normal nostril.
