In five cases of endemic ethmoidal carcinoma in cattle from the Dominican Republic three tumor types could be classified: undifferentiated carcinoma (3), adenocarcinoma (1), and squamous cell carcinoma (1). Electron microscopy showed that the tumor cells in undifferentiated carcinomas closely resembled the cells of the normal olfactory mucosa. This was especially true for the dark cells of Bowman's gland. Ultrastructurally, the lymphoid cells of the undifferentiated bovine carcinoma resembled the lymphoid cells of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma being closely associated with Epstein-Barr Virus. This and epidemiological observations suggested a viral cause of endemic ethmoidal carcinoma.

Epidemiological Features of Sinonasal Adenocarcinoma and Prognostic Nomogram: A Study Based on the SEER Database.
Cancer Control

Department of Oncology, Suining Central Hospital, Suining, China.
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.

: Haller Cells (HCs) represent the abnormal migration of ethmoid cells that are located below the ethmoid bulla at the level of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus. Through their placement, the cells can exert a mass effect on the infundibulum of the maxillary sinus. The aim of our study is to investigate the prevalence of Haller cells in the Romanian population and to evaluate the relationship between this anatomical variation and chronic rhinosinusitis.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been connected to numerous opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections. Mucormycosis is a fatal opportunistic disease that became much more common with the second COVID-19 wave. We plan to look into the prognosis and course of mucormycosis following COVID-19, as well as the risk of mucormycosis in cases with COVID-19 pneumonitis.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the epidemiology of paranasal sinus cancer (PSC) in Germany, focusing on its incidence, staging, clinicopathological features, and survival rates using data from a major cancer registry.
- Over 3,975 PSC cases were examined, revealing a low and stable age-adjusted incidence rate of 0.3 per 100,000, with the maxillary sinus being the most common tumor site and keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma as the predominant type.
- The study found that the overall 5-year relative survival rate was 52%, significantly decreasing with higher T, N, and M stages, indicating worse outcomes for advanced cancer stages.
The continuous rise in orbital subperiosteal abscess incidence in the Iranian pediatric population.

Eye Research Center, Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
In this study, we aimed to follow up on the surprising increase in the incidence of orbital subperiosteal abscesses (SPA) reported in the Iranian pediatric population in the post-COVID era. Pediatric patients (≤ 18 years old) diagnosed with orbital SPA following acute sinusitis who were hospitalized between October 1st, 2023, and March 31st, 2024 in Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran, were included. Demographic, clinical, microbiologic, and radiological characteristics of patients were reviewed.
