Malignant neoplasms of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses constitute 3% of all head and neck tumors and less than 1% of all malignancies. The most common histological subtype is squamous cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma and tumors of minor salivary glands come next to it. Verrucous carcinoma is a well-differentiated rarely found form of squamous cell carcinoma. A mass lesion which is causing expansion in right maksillary sinus and thus eroding lamina papricea and narrowing orbital field, has been shown during magnetic resonance imaging of a sixty-three years old male patient. The mass is excised with Cadwell-Luc procedure. Result of histopathological examination is reported as verrucous cell carcinoma. A case of rarely found maksillary sinus verrucous cell carcinoma is presented with goal to contribute to literature.
