Objective: Sinonasal adenocarcinoma is a tumor typically associated with exposure to occupational carcinogens. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published several data in order to classify carcinogenic power of physical-chemical agents as far as sinonasal cancer is concerned.
Materials And Methods: We report a clinical case of sinonasal adenocarcinoma observed in an 84 years old patient, without clinical history of past exposure to carcinogens, smoke and alcohol.
Results And Conclusions: A sinonasal adenocarcinoma in a patient without risk factors is extremely rare. It is very important to recognize this cancer at an early stage in order to give better survival rates to the patients.
Key Words: Carcinogens, Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, Sinonasal cancer.

: Sinonasal malignancies are rare and highly diverse cancers that pose significant diagnostic challenges due to their variable histological features and complex anatomical locations. Accurate diagnosis is critical for guiding treatment, yet conventional methods often require multiple biopsies. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) for real-time imaging of sinonasal tumors to characterize specific features of different entities and improve diagnostic precision.

Objective: Our study aimed to update demographic profiles of sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) between 2000 and 2020, identify independent prognostic risk factors, and devise a predictive nomogram for overall survival (OS).
Methods: Utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, cases of SNAC from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed for incidence trends. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models helped pinpoint factors impacting patient survival.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

Aims: Although molecular tests developed for a growing list of oncogenic alterations have significantly aided in the classification of head and neck carcinomas, tumours in which prototypical histologic and immunophenotypic features are lacking or only partially developed continue to pose diagnostic challenges. Searching for known diagnostic and therapeutic targets by clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays can often lead to new discoveries.
Methods And Results: We present our institutional experience in applying targeted RNA NGS in 36 head and neck carcinomas that were morphologically difficult to classify between 2016 and 2023.

Unlabelled: Sinonasal carcinomas are aggressive neoplasms that present a high morbidity and mortality rate with an unfavorable prognosis. This group of tumors exhibits morphological and genetic diversity. Genetic and epigenetic alterations in these neoplasms are the current targets for diagnosis and treatment.
