A CT scan should tell you what's going on. The mass could simply be a cyst. I would make sure to have a full CBC and metabolic panel run. I know Myeloma often manifests itself in the sinus. The infections may be caused by a weakend immune system instead the mass you're referencing. Don't panic, get a second opinion.

You should take your scans and see an ENT physician to properly scope your sinuses. You might also possibly need surgery so that the doctor can properly visualize the area and possibly biopsy it. Discuss with the doctor and let him put it into the context of your symptoms and your scan results.

Let us know how you do...
