Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for sinusitis due to the lack of a current diagnosis, and remanded the claim for further development regarding salivary gland cancer.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion that the Veteran does not have chronic sinusitis was deemed more probative than the Veteran's claims of toxic exposure during service.
