Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Zygomatic bone tumors can be classified into benign and malignant types, which are related to the severity of the condition. If the zygomatic tumor is benign, it usually grows slowly and may not cause obvious symptoms in the early stage. There might be a protruding mass that is relatively mobile, but generally no other discomfort occurs. In contrast, malignant tumors may present with facial pain, bone destruction, and even symptoms such as dizziness, nasal congestion, and tinnitus in the early stages.
