Author ProfileAbstract
Malignant lymphomas of the paranasal sinuses, which have a minimal
tendency for invasion but considerable necrosis, may be misdiagnosed as
an inflammatory disease, based on MRI and clinical findings. In cases
where a thorough physical examination does not rule out a malignant
lymphoma, an endoscopic biopsy should be immediately considered.
