Two cases of carcinoma of the frontal sinus, which were treated in Kurume University Hospital during the period of 10 years from 1971 to 1980, were reported. The incidence of primary carcinoma of the frontal sinus in all carcinomas of the paranasal sinuses was 1.5% (2/130) during this period at our department. In case 1, surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiation therapy in combination with local administration of Bleomycin was indicated. The patient did not continue to have treatments and died 11 months after the initiation of treatment. In case 2, surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiation in combination with intravenous administration of Bleomycin failed to control the primary lesion. Ophthalmectomy was added later, but the patient died with an intracranical invasion 1 year and 6 months after the onset of treatment.
