Typical carcinoid tumors arise from neuroendocrine cells, many of which are present in the digestive tract and lungs. Tumors occurring in the nose and paranasal sinus area are very rare. We encountered a patient with a typical carcinoid tumor that arose in the sphenoid sinuses, and we report the case with a review of the literature. The patient was a 53-year-old woman presented with right-side headache and repeatedly rhinorrhea for half a year. The sinus CT revealed a soft tissue mass in the right sphenoid sinus, MR showed equal T1 signal and T2 signal tissue, and enhanced MR showed abundant blood perfusion in the arterial phase before surgery. Then the right sphenoid sinus open surgery and sphenoid sinus tumor resection was performed under nasal endoscopy, the operation was successful. The histopathological diagnosis was a typical carcinoid tumor. There was no sign of recurrence after 3 months and 14 months of follow-up.
