ABSTRACT
We report on a patient who presented to ENT services with right side epistaxis, frontal lobe headache, right infraorbital pain and the feeling of having a stuffy nose. CT and MRI were performed and later a biopsy confirmed the presence of sinonasal plasmocytoma. The Head and Neck oncology committee recommended radiotherapy as the choice of treatment. At the present time the patient is being followed on scheduled medical visits.
