Abstract

Small cell carcinoma commonly originates in the lung, with only about 4% of cases arising at extrapulmonary sites. Furthermore, small cell carcinoma of the sinonasal tract is extremely rare. In Korea, only 2 cases of primary sinonasal small cell carcinoma have been reported in the nasal cavity and the nasal septum, respectively. Recently, we have experienced a rare case of small cell carcinoma arising from the right maxillary sinus coexisting with a fungal ball lesion. Herein, we report this case with a review of the literature.
