nasal sinuses representing about 70% of malignant tumors. Only between 10% and 20% correspond to adenocarcinomas mostly originated in the minor submucous glands. Less frequent tumors originate in the cavity lining epithelium, such as intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITA) and low-grade adenocarcinoma (LGA).
