The authors presented a case of maxillary sinus fibrous dysplasia developed in a thirteen-year-old boy. The disease was almost asymptomatic except for mild facial asymmetry and exophthalmos. The diagnosis was made on the basis of CT scans and MR imaging, and confirmed by histological study. The condition was classified as a non-aggressive form of the disease. No recurrence of the fibro-osseous lesion was found at postoperative one year.

The authors presented a case of massive osteoma of the paranasal sinuses in which minimal symptoms were present. The diagnosis was made on the basis of radiographic findings and confirmed surgically and histologically. No recurrence of the tumor was found at postoperative several years.

Gastrointestinal metastases from invasive lobular breast cancer are uncommon with the stomach and small intestines being the most common metastatic sites. Peritoneal and rectal metastases are very rare and only rarely occur as the first manifestation of disease. We herein report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with abdominal carcinomatosis as a first sign of invasive lobular breast carcinoma (ILC). Identifying the most important immunohistochemical markers for ILC: gross cystic disease fluid protein 15, estrogen and progesterone receptors enabled a correct diagnosis. After a six year disease-free period, relapse occurred with severe obstruction due to rectal metastasis from lobular breast carcinoma. Since there was no widespread metastatic disease, surgery with concomitant hormonal therapy was performed.
