Paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancer occurs when cancer cells form in those areas.

There are also other types of sinus cancer including melanomas, which start in melanocytes; sarcomas, which originate in connective tissue and muscles; midline granulomas, which form in the middle part of the face; and inverting papilloma, which are benign tumors that form in the nose and can develop into cancer.
