Popis: During the preoperative diagnostics of an 80-year-old male patient prior to a planned endarterectomy, an unclear space-occupying lesion was detected in the right nasopharyngeal cavity. It proved to be a dense soft tissue space-occupying lesion of the right maxillary sinus. The histological investigations revealed a partially necrotically decomposed malignant tumor below normal respiratory mucosa free from dysplasia. This case demonstrates the difficulties in differential diagnostics, particularly involving (aberrant) expression of cytokeratin.
