Abstract
Objective: To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of cancer of paranasal sinus. Method: This is retrospective case series done in Liaquat National Hospital. Data were retrieved from August to October 2020. Results: Data of a total of 5 patients with sinonasal cancer was reviewed. Four patients presented with extensive disease. Three patients were male and two were female. The age of patients was between 40 and 70 years. All these five patients underwent surgery. Four patients were referred for concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and one patient expired after surgery. Conclusion: Malignant tumors of the nose and sinuses are rare constituting 3% of head and neck malignancies. The early symptoms are relatively innocuous and are often ignored by the patient, their general practitioners and even ENT surgeons leading to a delayed diagnosis and treatment. Although paranasal tumors are rare they should be in our differential.
