“…It is not the intention of this paper to discuss maxillary sinus disease including malignancy as this has been covered in a recent article in this journal. 12 However, when a patient presents with a non-healing extraction site in the maxillary molar area referral to an appropriate specialist is recommended to facilitate accurate diagnosis and appropriate care. If there is a high index of suspicion for malignant disease then the referral should be highlighted as urgent, and to a secondary care unit.…”

“…Diseases of the paranasal sinuses occur frequently in modern day populations, affecting both the young and old alike (Farman and Nortjé, 2002;Bell et al, 2011). Chronic or recurrent low-grade infections of the maxillary sinus are aetiologically diverse, with triggers ranging from environmental irritants to allergy and respiratory tract infections (Spector, 1992;Corren and Rachelefsky, 1994;Osur, 2002).…”

AbstractThis report provides a differential diagnosis of an exostotic bony lesion within the left maxillary sinus of a Romano-British (3 rd to 4 th century AD) adult male from Newport, Lincoln. Macroscopic, radiographic, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analyses suggest that the lesion is likely of odontogenic origin. The overall size of the lesion and areas of sclerosis and radiolucency, together with its hypothesised odontogenic origin, suggest that the lesion represents a chronic exostotic osteomyelitic reaction to the presence of odontogenic bacteria. While modern case studies of odontogenic maxillary sinus osteomyelitis are noteworthy, published cases of this condition are extremely rare in an archaeological context and may be underreported due to the enclosed nature of the sinuses. Such infections may have serious implications for individual and population health, and non-destructive investigation should be considered in cases where significant maxillary caries are present.

“…Almost 80% of malignancies are squamous cell carcinomas, with acinic cell carcinomas forming 10% of the sinus malignancies. [1] The Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal and paranasal region has been reported to occur most frequently in the maxillary sinus (55-60%) followed by nasal cavity (19-35%), ethmoid sinus (9-15%), nasal vestibule (4%) and frontal and sphenoid sinus (1% each). [2] Therefore, it may present with any one of many signs and symptoms including nasal stiffness, swelling over the cheek, pain in the area and epistaxis.…”

“…Large rhinoliths are known as fungal balls. [1] Radiological evidence of invasive infection in the sinuses (i.e., erosion of sinus walls or extension of infection to neighbouring structures, extensive skull base destruction) may present.…”

A 63 year old male reported with mild pain and gradually enlarging swelling of presumed dental origin in the left side of the face since two months. Based on clinical and radiographic finding, the differential diagnosis for this lesion included squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, salivary gland malignancies, sinonasal carcinoma, non hodgkin lymphoma large B cell type and deep fungal infection. Biopsy was taken and microscopic examination revealed features of sinonasal carcinoma.
