Infantile Sinonasal Tract Myxomas with Orbital Involvement: Presentation of Two Cases and Comprehensive Literature Review.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Ophthalmology Department, The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, NSW 2145, Australia.
Our aim is to present two cases of infantile sinonasal tract myxoma with orbital involvement and conduct a comprehensive literature review of the topic. We aim to provide a summary of the presentation of infantile sinonasal tract myxomas to effectively aid clinicians in considering this rare entity as a potential diagnosis. We present a case series and a retrospective review of the published literature in the English language.

Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal myxomas (SNMs) are a specific type of tumor found in the paranasal sinuses and maxillae of infants, as seen in a case involving a 15-month-old.
- After initial surgery, the patient's tumor recurred, but a second surgery using marginal excision was successful with no further recurrences.
- SNMs have unique clinical and histological traits, and their positive β-catenin staining, unlike odontogenic myxomas which are negative for it, suggests they could be classified as a separate disease, prompting potential changes in treatment approaches.
Spindle Cell Tumors of the Sinonasal Tract: A Diagnostic Update with Focus on Ancillary Workup.

Spindle cell neoplasms arising in the head and neck may be challenging to recognize due to their relative rarity. While underlying molecular alterations are increasingly elucidated, testing for these features may not be readily available. In most cases, combinations of key morphologic features and diagnostic immunohistochemical markers can be used to replace molecular diagnostics.

Sinonasal myxomas are rare benign tumors of the maxillary bone and sinus. There is published evidence that sinonasal myxomas occurring in children up to 3 years of age ("infantile sinonasal myxomas") are clinically distinctive and harbor Wnt signaling pathway alterations. Here, we characterized 16 infantile sinonasal myxomas and compared them to 19 maxillary myxomas and 11 mandibular myxomas in older patients.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 8 patients, all had facial swelling and had surgery to remove the tumors, which showed certain genetic changes that could help to tell SNM apart from a similar condition called desmoid fibromatosis.
- * None of the patients showed signs of serious illness after treatment, and there was a much lower chance of the tumors coming back compared to desmoid fibromatosis.
