Abstract :
Malignancies involving the paranasal sinus are usually rare and cases of ethmoid sinus carcinoma are very uncommon.
In this category sqamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy seen, poor survival rate has
been associated with these cases because most of them present in their advance stages as in these seen cases the
symptoms may be nonspecific and remain indolent for months or years, leading to delay in diagnosis and consequently
present as at advanced diseased stage. Hence, it is important that the clinicians should be aware of the sinus
pathologies, to diagnose these malignancies at an early stage. Here we report a case of sqamous cell carcinoma
originating from ethmoid sinus extending into bilateral nasal cavities, orbits, and maxillary sinuses.
