We report a 68-year-old male with a rare case of synchronous bilateral carcinomas of the maxillary sinus. A CT scan revealed a large tumour mass that extruded from the left maxillary sinus; tissue of soft density filled the right antrum which had intact bony walls. A probe antrostomy on the right side disclosed a tumour which was diagnosed histologically as the same poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma as that in the left antrum. The incidence and aetiology of this disorder are presented, and its diagnosis and management are discussed.
