Abstract
A painful maxillary sinus metastasis in previously irradiated tissue required palliation. Lesion was treated by computed tomography-guided palladium103 implantation as an outpatient procedure; the lesion and its attendant facial pain and swelling resolved completely. Computed tomography-guided permanent seed brachytherapy is a novel, rapid, effective, and low resource cost method of treating paranasal malignancy.
