Abstract EN
Metastasis of the thyroid carcinoma to the paranasal sinuses is rarely reported.
Among these sinuses, metastasis to the maxillary sinus alone has been reported only in a few cases.
This is the first reported case in a 76-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the maxillary sinus alone and resected through endoscopic sinonasal surgery.
When patients have sinus lesions and a history of malignancy, metastasis should be included in the differential diagnosis.
If they have an isolated metastatic lesion to the paranasal sinus, ESS, either palliative or radical, can be a useful treatment option.
