| Abstract: | Malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses are rare: about 80% are found in the maxillary sinus123. The presence of dense radiopaque masses in combination with destruction of the bone margins suggests osteosarcoma or aspergillosis4 rather than carcinoma. We present a unique mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the maxillary antrum containing new bone formation and discuss the differential diagnosis. |
