Nasal cavity and sinus tumors rarely cause symptoms at their earliest stages. Most people tend to notice symptoms when the tumor has grown large enough to block the nasal cavity or the affected sinus, or when it has spread to other nearby tissue.

Common signs of nasal cavity cancer and sinus cancer include:

• Nasal congestion that doesn’t go away
• Chronic sinus infections or common cold that don’t respond to antibiotics
• Frequent headaches
• Facial pain
• Nosebleeds
• Swelling around the eyes
• Decreased sense of smell
• Bleeding from the Nose
• Decreased vision or protrusion of the eyeball

More-advanced disease is associated with:

• Loose teeth
• Numbness around the cheek and upper lip
• Double vision
• Swelling in the mouth, jaw, or neck
