Zusammenfassung:	Background. Paranasal sinus metastasis following endometrial carcinoma is extremely rare and a reflection of disseminated disease. Case. We report a case of a 72-year-old woman who presented ethmoid and sphenoid sinus metastasis, 14 months after total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to an endometrial clear cell carcinoma.
