Cancer of para-nasal cavities represented only a small group among cancers of upper aero-digestive tract; 3 to 4% of 1,200 admissions yearly with cancer of head and neck. These cancers may arise from bone or cartilage but originated mainly in the mucosal lining of nasal and sinus cavities. In the latter case these were carcinomas representing approximately 75% of nasosinusal cancers treated. Carcinomas are reviewed, with a distinction between epidermoid and glandular types due to their particular evolutive courses, this retrospective study involving 162 case-reports of patients over 16 years of age treated entirely in the Institut Gustave-Roussy between 1965 and 1980.
