Metastasic oesophageal carcinoma to the paranasal sinuses--a case report

Metastasis to the paranasal sinuses is rare. We report a case of a patient with metastasis to the paranasal sinuses from carcinoma of the oesophagus. Our patient presented with symptoms mimicking the more common acute sinusitis. Although rare, metastatic disease of the paranasal sinuses should be considered especially in patients with a known primary carcinoma elsewhere presenting with sinu-nasal symptoms.
