Sagittal (a) and axial (b) contrast enhanced CT images of soft tissue of the neck.

The axial image shows the mass located in the right frontal sinus with near complete opacification of the anterior and middle ethmoid air cells and maxillary sinuses with thickening of the pharyngeal mucosa consistent with chronic pharyngitis and sinusitis.
