Maxillary sinus malignancies are rare, constituting just 0.44% of all neoplasms. These malignancies have a male predilection, with a ratio of 2:1. Men in the age range of 39–89 years are mostly affected. The patient presents with a plethora of symptoms that can mimic an odontogenic infection or paranasal sinusitis. This case report discusses and describes the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings of a patient with malignancy of maxillary sinus misdiagnosed as chronic sinusitis.
