Abstract

Lung cancer is known to metastasize to a wide range of organs. The main sites for the metastatic foci are the mediastinal lymph nodes, brain, bones, adrenal glands, and the liver. Metastases to the paranasal sinuses are rare. However, a metastatic maxillary tumor may be the initial presentation of an unknown primary malignancy. Here, we report a case of a lung cancer that metastased to the maxillary sinus because of its rarity and its effect on the treatment of the disease.

Key Words: Lung cancer, Maxillary sinus, Metastasis
