The sino-nasal cavities represent an anatomical region affected by a variety of tumors with clinical, etiological, genetic and pathological features, which are distinct from tumors commonly encountered in the area of head and neck cancers. We have undertaken this study with the aim of assessing clinical profile, various treatment modalities and outcome of patients with malignant sino-nasal tumors. In this prospective study of two years, done in a rural tertiary care hospital of India, 40 patients with malignant neoplastic tumors of nasal cavity, sinuses and nasopharynx were analyzed for their clinic-pathological and radiological profile and surgical management. The age range found was 10-78 years. There was a significant male preponderance with 23 (57.5%) male patients. Most common histological type seen in our study was Squamous cell carcinoma amongst 32 (80%) of cases. Maximum number of patients were managed with combination therapy of Surgery and Radiotherapy i.e. in 21 patients (52.5%). Multimodality treatment has been deemed the most efficacious choice of treatment which would improve disease free survival for the patients.

Impact of posterior septectomy on olfaction in endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul Saint Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery is widely used to resect pituitary adenomas, yet its impact on olfactory function after resection of the posterosuperior nasal septum remains a concern. To optimize surgical techniques to preserve olfactory function, it is essential to understand the relationship between the extent of septal resection and olfactory outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 295 patients who underwent pituitary adenoma surgery.
Orbital Complications of Sino Nasal Tumors.

Department of ENT Unit, Christian Medical College Vellore, Vellore, Tamil Nadu India.
Orbital involvement in Sinonasal tumours most commonly present as proptosis, epiphora and/or visual symptoms. We aimed to enumerate the orbital manifestations of Sino nasal tumours, to describe strategies employed to manage orbit and vision, to evaluate outcomes, vision preservation and survival rates. This retrospective study spanning ten years identified 147 Sino nasal pathologies with clinic-radiological involvement of the orbit.

Objective: Reports of endoscopic surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinus are limited. Herein, we present a comprehensive account of the results obtained from performing endoscopic surgery based on the concept of en bloc resection.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent nasal endoscopic surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinus at a hospital between July 2018 and December 2021.
Sinonasal Outcomes after Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery in Patients With Cushing's Disease.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Purpose: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has become the preferred treatment for pituitary tumors, with minimal sinonasal morbidity. However, patients with Cushing's disease (CD) may represent a subgroup with prolonged impairment of sinonasal quality of life (QOL).
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with CD who underwent EEA at our institution.

Article Synopsis
- Invasive fungal sinusitis is a severe condition that can be mistaken for cancer, especially in patients who have had radiation therapy for head and neck cancers.
- A case study of a 68-year-old man, who developed symptoms of invasive fungal sinusitis 25 years after treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, illustrates the challenges in diagnosing this condition.
- The report emphasizes the importance of histological examination to confirm diagnosis and suggests that repeat imaging and evaluations may be necessary to avoid misdiagnosis.
