Abstract

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma represents a rare and aggressive disease. Clinical presentation usually mimics other benign entities and consequently this malignancy is seldom diagnosed in early stages. Surgical management, although is standard of care, is rarely amenable due to the structures involved, usually intracranially. This article encompasses a case report of squamous cell carcinoma involving the ethmoidal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses invasive to bone and extending intracranially.

Keywords: carcinoma; papilloma; sinonasal; squamous.
