Treatments in sinonasal inverted papilloma malignancy invading the pterygopalatine fossa: A case report.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is less malignant and usually occur in the maxillary sinus. However, cases invading the pterygopalatine fossa are extremely rare. In this article, we describe a rare case of a man in his early 60s who presented with left nasal congestion, headache, epistaxis, and facial numbness.

[Clinical characteristics of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma from the head and neck].

The medical data of 10 patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) from the head and neck at Henan Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 5 females, aged (57.6±13.

Primary head and neck lymphoid neoplasms in adolescents and young adults: demographics, distribution and survival outcomes.

Primary head and neck lymphoid neoplasms(PHNLN) are described as a series of lymphoid system-derived neoplasms which originally arising from head and neck region. Our study is aimed to present a panoramic view of PHNLN among adolescent and young adult(AYA) patients aged from 15 to 39 years-old. The individual patient information was obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results(SEER) database.

Clinicopathological Features of Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Analysis of Twenty-Two Cases.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-positive neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a rare neoplasm with limited histopathological and therapeutic data. This report presents 22 cases of EBV-positive NEC, analyzing age distribution, morphology, and immunophenotype. The median patient age was 47 years (range: 27-67 years), with a male-to-female ratio of 17:5.

Endoscopic strategies for giant V2 schwannoma: A step-by-step guide to the combined endonasal and pre lacrimal approaches.

This video article aims to describe the surgical technique and effectiveness of a combined endoscopic transnasal and pre-lacrimal recess approach for paramedian V2 schwannoma.

Seromucinous hamartoma with unique clinical and histopathological features: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: We present this case to highlight the importance of considering seromucinous hamartoma in the differential diagnosis of nasal cavity lesions, particularly due to its rarity and potential for being mistaken for more aggressive pathologies. Seromucinous hamartoma, although benign, can exhibit clinical and histological features that overlap with those of malignant tumors, posing a diagnostic challenge. This case is especially noteworthy due to the unusual presentation of sebaceous differentiation within seromucinous hamartoma, a feature not previously documented in the literature.

'Misdiagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the maxillary sinus as a dental abscess'.

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors with diverse prognoses, histological appearances, and clinical symptoms. While it commonly affects lymphoid tissues, its occurrence in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges.

Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 53-year-old man with a history of testicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated 5 months prior.

Myxoid Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Nasal Vestibule: An Unusual Histological Subtype in the Head and Neck Region.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms associated with the characteristic gene fusion. They frequently occur in extra-thoracic sites and are not uncommon in the head and neck (HN) region. Myxoid SFT is a rare morphological subtype of SFT, the features of which overlap with those of other myxoid-appearing tumors, making the diagnosis challenging.

Added-value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to conventional MRI for the differentiation between inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and squamous cell carcinoma in the sinonasal region.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the additional value of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) in differentiation between inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the sinonasal cavity.

Methods: Patients with pathologically proven IMT and SCC in the sinonasal region were enrolled in this retrospective study. All participants underwent conventional MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, while a subset of them performed DWI.

Impact of fast-track on recurrence and malignant transformation of patients with inverted papilloma.

Background: Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial tumour located in the sinonasal tract with a high recurrence rate and a potential of malignant transformation. From 2017, patients with IP were included in our fast-track regime similar to head and neck cancer patients, including follow-up at 2, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery, then yearly for a total of 5 years.

Aims/objectives: This study aims to compare the recurrence rate and malignant transformation of patients with IP treated at a university centre following the implementation of a fast-track regime including a close follow-up.

Sinonasal Adenocarcinomas: An Update.

Among sinonasal malignancies, adenocarcinomas account for the second most common entity after squamous cell carcinoma. They span a wide spectrum of neoplasms with heterogeneous features including intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC), non-intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (non-ITACs), and salivary-type adenocarcinomas. ITAC basically mirrors the histopathological aspects of gastrointestinal counterparts, showing variable tubulo-papillary, colonic, and mixed patterns with mucin production in 20% to 25% of cases.
