All 100 patients were included in this study and were treated at the Department of Otolaryngology of Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka.

Results: Total 26 cases were found parotid among them 8(30.8%) in metastatic neck node and 18(69.2%) in without metastatic neck node. Total 10 cases were found paranasal sinuses among them 1(10.0%) in metastatic neck node and 9(90.0%) in without metastatic neck node. Which were statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups.
