Cancer in sinonasal cavity is an extremely uncommon condition. Most of the time, the symptoms resemble allergy symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose a malignancy. It is critical to distinguish between benign and malignant nasal masses. A clinical correlation is required for this, as well as radiological and pathological linkage. Minor salivary gland tumours, particularly in the nose, are uncommon in the head and neck region. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a relatively common malignant tumour that consists primarily of a minor salivary gland cancer in the sinonasal cavity. Only a few studies have been published, despite the fact that adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most prevalent cancer to develop in the sinonasal tract. The clinical manifestation and tumour stage will always influence the course of treatment. Due to the late presentation, it manifests in a stage where surgery and adjuvant therapy may be necessary for treatment. We are providing a case report of a male patient, age 55, who underwent successful endoscopic endonasal treatment one year back for a well localised (T1N0M0) left sided nasal tumour, an adenoid cystic carcinoma, at Apollo E.N.T. hospital, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
