Dr. Joshua Bederson of The Mount Sinai Medical Center answered:
Malignant tumors of the nose and sinuses (sinonasal) are diagnosed with:
- Endoscopic examination by an experienced otolaryngologist (ENT doctor)
- MRI
- CT
- Tissue biopsy, which is essential for an accurate diagnosis
- Chest x-ray; CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; or PET scan to rule out metastatic disease
