“…It is rare and has poor prognosis because of delayed correct diagnosis, which is complicated by its non-specific symptoms. 9 DLBCL is aggressive extranodal disease (> 40%) with fast tumor growth. 10 Rhinosinusitis, pain, facial and mucosal swelling, nasal obstruction, fever, epistaxis, and weight loss are the main symptoms of paranasal DLBCL.…”

Malignant lymphomas are neoplasms with diffuse proliferation of neoplastic lymphocytes and their precursor cells. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, rarely occurs in the head and neck area and is especially rare in the maxillary sinus. We report a case of a 76-year-old female patient who was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery office for evaluation of a dental abscess as a clinical diagnosis. Laboratory tests revealed no signs of inflammation or infection; therefore, incisional biopsy was performed. The final diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the maxillary sinus. Here we describe this case with a review of relevant literature.

“…Symptoms of paranasal sinus lymphoma can be nonspecific and variable, making diagnosis difficult. Common complaints include pain, persistent rhinosinusitis, nasal obstruction, facial edema, B symptoms, or unintended weight loss [8]. This disease is often associated with a poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and the increased likelihood of invasion and spread into the CNS [3].…”

The paranasal sinuses are rare sites for origination of primary Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Most often, primary paranasal lymphomas are diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) associated with a poor prognosis. This paper describes an uncommon case of ethmoid sinus lymphoma with lateral displacement of the left orbit and involvement of the nasal vault, skull base, and frontal sinuses. Excisional biopsy and flow cytometry findings favored the diagnosis of DLBCL, non-germinal center type. Moreover, CT showed an epigastric mass and enlarged lymph nodes along the left iliac chain and spleen. Radiation therapy was immediately started and the patient achieved significant symptomatic relief after four treatments. Accurate diagnosis of extranodal NHL lymphomas through a thorough history, physical exam, imaging, and immunopathology is necessary to initiate prompt treatment of this rare, aggressive disease.
