Cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: a new staging system.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg

Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Ferrara, Italy.

Published: February 1996

This study proposes a new staging system for cancer of the paranasal sinuses on the basis of two concepts. The first concept is that the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses form a single unit. Consequently, the mucosa of each sinus may give rise to tumors. The histopathologic variation will be the same for all these cavities. The second concept is that the staging of these tumors depends both on the nature of the neoplastic cells and on the specific bone boundaries which surround the anatomic site and subsites. We analyzed 61 cases and we emphasize the need for a differential analysis of T4 tumors depending on which adjacent region is involved.

A platform combining automatic segmentation and automatic measurement of the maxillary sinus and adjacent structures.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, China.

Objectives: To develop a platform including a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for automatic segmentation of the maxillary sinus (MS) and adjacent structures, and automatic algorithms for measuring 3-dimensional (3D) clinical parameters.

Materials And Methods: 175 CBCTs containing 242 MS were used as the training, validating and testing datasets at the ratio of 7:1:2. The datasets contained healthy MS and MS with mild (2-4 mm), moderate (4-10 mm) and severe (10- mm) mucosal thickening.

Changes in the Microbiome During Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Pathogens

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Poznań University of Medical Sciences, Przybyszewskiego 49 St., 60-355 Poznań, Poland.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses with a yet unknown etiology. As studies continue to elucidate the disease's heterogeneity inflammatory profile and presentation, there is a growing interest in the influence of the nasal microbiome on disease pathogenesis and chronicity. The sinus microbiota appear dominated by the and genera; known upper airway pathogens, such as , are present in the upper airways of healthy individuals, though at relatively lower abundances than in CRS patients.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is a rare pediatric malignant tumor with a poor prognosis, particularly when located in the rhinopharynx and sphenoidal floor, which complicates diagnosis and increases the risk of misclassification as benign growths. The specific genotype of aRMS is associated with a worse clinical outcome. In young children, especially those aged 4 to 12 years, rhinopharyngeal masses are often attributed to chronic adenoiditis; however, other benign (e.

Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon bone disorder affecting various parts of the skeleton, often affecting facial and cranial bones. In this case, a 10-year-old patient was diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia of the ethmoid sinus at an early age. The patient has experienced nasal congestion, snores, and worsening nasal patency since 2019.
