Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma

• M:F 5:1• Mean age 50 – 65 yr, range 3rd to

9th decade • Predominantly ethmoid sinus

followed by nasal cavity & maxillary sinus

• Metastasis to lateral neck nodes <20%, distant metastases occur

• Death by intracranial spread• Etiology: hardwood & leather dust,

chrome

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma

• M:F 2:1• Most >50 yr, rarely <40 yr • Predominantly nasal cavity &

maxillary sinus, rarely ethmoid• Usually well to moderately

differentiated• Metastasis to lateral neck nodes

in ~15%, especially if bone is penetrated

• Etiology: nickel, softwood dust, mustard gas production, Thorotrast
