What Are Sinus Tumors?
Sinus tumors are abnormal growth of cells that develop within any of the four sinus cavities. These tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). While the cause of sinus tumors is not fully understood, factors such as chronic sinusitis, exposure to environmental irritants, and smoking may increase the risk of their development.
Causes & Symptoms
Signs and Symptoms of Sinus Tumors
Most sinus tumors are benign but may cause troubling symptoms that impact your daily life. These symptoms include:
- Nasal obstruction or blockage
- Facial pain and pressure
- Visual disturbances
- Chronic sinus infections
- Snoring or sleep apnea
Early detection is key, and diagnosis may involve an endoscopic exam through the nose or imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. If you notice persistent symptoms, don’t hesitate to consult our ENT specialists in Santa Monica or Torrance for evaluation.
Treatments
How Are Sinus Tumors Treated?
Treatment for sinus tumors varies depending on whether the tumor is benign or malignant, as well as the size and stage of the tumor. Our ENT surgeons in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Torrance offer a range of treatment options, which may include:
- Surgical Resection: Removal of the tumor, either through endoscopic techniques (minimally invasive) or open surgery.
- Ablation Therapy: Destroying the tumor with focused energy, such as radiofrequency or laser.
- Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy: These are often combined with surgery for treating cancerous sinus tumors to ensure all cancer cells are destroyed.
For small, benign tumors that are not causing significant symptoms, careful monitoring may be all that is required. However, for malignant tumors or those causing symptoms, prompt and aggressive treatment is essential for the best outcome.
