Abstract

Metastatic malignant tumor of the nose and Para nasal sinuses is rare and develops about 3 % of malignant tumor in the head neck.
Metastatic rate into the nose and paranasa1 sinuses from primary tumor is occupied only 1%.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most frequent primary tumor and maxillary sinus is the ? most common site among the Para nasal sinuses to metastasize this way.
The average age of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the maxillary sinus is the end of six decades with a slight predominance of males.
Epistaxis is the chief presenting complaint in the metastatic renal cell carcinoma due to it´s high vascularity.
Recently, authors have treated a patient of metastatic renal cell carcinoma into the maxillary sinus who had removed the left kidey 12 years ago and then we report with review of references.
