Maxillary sinus cancer

Maxillary sinus cancers are the most common type of sinonasal malignancies. These cancers are locally aggressive, and patients generally remain asymptomatic until the tumour reaches an advanced stage. Multimodality therapy is the gold standard for treating these cancers. This report presents the case of a 60-year-old male, Mr GA, who received a diagnosis of advanced-stage maxillary sinus carcinoma following biopsy of the lesion after it was incidentally discovered on a computed tomography (CT) scan ordered in the primary care setting. Mr GA underwent elective removal of the primary tumour followed by extensive reconstructive surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. This case highlights the significance of a multidisciplinary team and evidence-based approach in achieving successful outcomes for patients with maxillary sinus cancer.
