Ethmoid sinus carcinoma

Malignancies involving the paranasal sinus are usually rare and cases of ethmoid sinus carcinoma are very un- common. In this category sqamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy seen, poor survival rate has been associated with these cases because most of them present in their advance stages as in these seen cases the symptoms may be nonspecific and remain indolent for months or years, leading to delay in diagnosis and conse- quently present as at advanced diseased stage. Hence, it is important that the clinicians should be aware of the sinus pathologies, to diagnose these malignancies at an early stage. Here we report a case of sqamous cell carcinoma originating from ethmoid sinus extending into bilateral nasal cavities, orbits, and maxillary sinuses.
