Abstract: | IntroductionMaxillary sinus adenoid cystic carcinoma (MSACC) is a rare malignancy with a propensity for distant metastasisCase presentationWe report a case of a 55 years-old male who was admitted to our department with a complaint of right nasal obstruction and anosmia. Clinical examination, radiological investigations and histopathological examination found a mass compatible with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right maxillary sinus. Treatment consisted of radio chemotherapy.ConclusionAdenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxillary sinus may represent a serious diagnostic challenge.
