| Summary: | Sinonasal tumours present a myriad of radiographic findings. While many of these tumours have been well described with regard to their
typical sites of origin, age group and radiological appearance we have come across lesions in our daily practice which are exceedingly
rare with regard to site of origin in sinonasal cavity. The radiological appearances of 4 such rare and unusual tumours arising in sinonasal
region evaluated by cross sectional imaging (CT/MRI) have been illustrated in this article with a purpose to review the radio-pathological
correlation of these tumours and to explain the utility of cross-sectional imaging CT and MRI in exploring diagnostic clues. Morphological
features and radiological patterns of each tumour have been graded into mild, moderate and severe based on the extent of tumoural
involvement. This review is intended to acquaint radiologists with the appearance of atypical sinonasal masses and their radiological
appearance on cross sectional imaging to make an early diagnosis. |
