Maxillary sinus is a bone cavity with a volume of 13-15 ml, located on both sides of the nasal cavity, surrounded by bone structure, early patients have no feeling. Other cases such as ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus and sphenoid sinus are similar. Early tumors are difficult to have clinical symptoms

Secondly, once there are symptoms and signs, it indicates that the tumor has expanded from the primary site to the surrounding areas and eroded the adjacent structures; And most of these tumors are primary tumors, not from other parts of the metastasis, so it is not easy to cause the attention of patients and doctors.
