Abstract

Malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses comprise of less than 1% of all malignancies and most of them originate from maxillary sinus. Lesion is often asymptomatic before it becomes extensive out of the sinus, however, the signs and symptoms of inflammatory sinusitis may be present. In early periods, there are no specific radiographic findings. Radiopacity of soft tissue mass in the sinus may appear. In advanced periods, the destruction of sinus walls and irregular radiolucent areas in the adjacent bone may be seen. Conditions that may cause radiopacity of the sinus, such as sinusitis and odontogenic cysts, should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Prognosis is generally poor due to its poor diagnosis in early periods and the complex anatomy of the region. In this case, the malignant tumor of the maxillary sinus in a patient who was referred to the dentist with the complaint of facial swelling and pain, is presented

Maksiller Sinüsün Malign Tümörü

Abstract

Paranazal sinüslerin malign tümörleri tüm malignitelerin %1’inden azını oluşturur ve bu tümörlerin çoğu maksiller sinüs kökenlidir. Lezyon, sıklıkla sinüs dışına ilerlemeden semptom vermemekle birlikte inflamatuar sinüzit bulgu ve belirtileri olabilir. Erken dönemlerde spesifik radyografik bulguları yoktur. Sinüste yumuşak doku kitlesinin radyopasitesi görülebilir. İlerleyen evrelerde sinüs duvarlarında yıkım ve çevre kemikte düzensiz radyolusent alanlar izlenebilir. Ayırıcı tanı olarak sinüzit ve odontojenik kistler gibi sinüs boşluğunun radyopasitesine neden olabilen durumlar düşünülmelidir. Erken tanı konulamaması ve bölgenin kompleks anatomisi nedeniyle prognozu genellikle kötüdür. Bu olguda, yüzde şişlik ve ağrı şikayeti ile dişhekimine başvuran hastada maksiller sinüsün malign tümörü sunulmaktadır
