RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) in detecting sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP). METHODS: Overall, 86 patients with unilateral nasal papillary or lobulated neoplasms were included between July 2018 and June 2019. All patients underwent IEE examinations, and the diagnosis of all neoplasms was confirmed through postoperative pathology. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen for independent predictors of various types of vascular patterns of SNIP. Furthermore, a prognostic nomogram was constructed using the independent predictors screened by logistic regression analysis to evaluate its usefulness in distinguishing SNIP from nasal polyp (NP) and papillary mucosa folds (PMF). RESULTS: In total, 86 consecutive cases were observed, including 37 with SNIP, 40 with NP, and 9 with PMF. Logistic regression analysis showed that spot, corkscrew, and multilayered vascular patterns were independent predictors of SNIP diagnosis. Furthermore, a nomogram comprising the three independent risk factors was constructed with scores of 5, 2, and 3. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting SNIP was 0.954, 0.66, 0.71, and 0.76 for the nomogram model, spot vascular pattern, corkscrew vascular pattern, and multilayered vascular pattern, respectively. CONCLUSION: The nomogram model based on spot, corkscrew, and multilayered vascular patterns in SNIP observed using IEE can be a useful diagnostic tool for predicting and distinguishing between NP and PMF.

Inverted papilloma (IP) are benign tumors that show a locally aggressive behavior, a high rate of recurrence, and a potential for malignant transformation. Specific radiological signs such as hyperostosis at the origin of the IP and convoluted cerebriform patterns, as well as the typical endoscopic aspect, can lead to diagnosis and enable preoperative planning of surgical access and the extent of surgery. Endonasal endoscopic techniques are considered the gold standard and the introduction of extended surgical techniques such as the prelacrimal approach, frontal drillout, or orbital transposition facilitate complete subperiosteal resection with preservation of important physiological structures. There is a risk of synchronous and metachronous squamous cell carcinomas (IP-SCC). Research focuses on radiological criteria to differentiate benign IP from IP-SCC, genetic and epigenetic factors in the process of malignant transformation, and estimation of the risk of IP progressing to IP-SCC.

Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumour arising from the olfactory nerve and extending into the nasal cavity. In this case report, the case of a 42-year-old male is presented. The patient had a two-month history of progressive nasal blockage and episodes of epistaxis. No complaint of anosmia or facial pain was reported. All the necessary examinations were performed. Upon investigation, the CT scan and MRI showed a polypoid mass involving the right maxillary sinus, eroding the medial wall and expanding into the osteo-meatal complex. The diagnosis of olfactory neuroblastoma was confirmed through histopathological examination and further validated by immunohistochemistry as it was positive for synaptophysin, chromogranin, gamma enolase, and neurofilament. On staging, the tumour was Kadish B. The mass was excised by lateral rhinotomy. The patient was kept on radiotherapy and was free from recurrence upon follow-up 10 months later. It was concluded that based on the analysis of findings related to olfactory neuroblastomas, clinicians should contemplate the possibility of an ONB when radiographic images depict a dumbbell-shaped mass within the nasal cavity, accompanied by peritumoural cysts. Using a multimodal treatment approach is advisable.

The relevance of the problems of diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer is currently determined not only by the high incidence rate, but by the existing difficulties in differential diagnosis and treatment with traditional methods. For localizations of basal cell skin cancer (BCSC) that are "inconvenient" for treatment, such as the external auditory canal, auricle, and wing of the nose, treatment is associated with certain difficulties and the possible appearance of a cosmetic defect, therefore, when choosing a treatment method, the anatomical features of these organs are taken into account. It has been determined that the effectiveness of treatment for primary BCSC of the nose and auricles is higher than recurrent one, and among the various treatment methods, the most effective and radical is the surgical method. The immediate results of treatment of BCSC in the form of PR by surgical method were 86.7%, which is statistically significant compared with other types of treatment (p < 0.05). Long-term treatment results with the surgical method are also higher (77%) compared to other methods, which is also statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Dermoid nasal cysts (congenital nasal median heterotopias) are a rare congenital pathology in children. OBJECTIVE: Yo consider the clinical picture, methods of radiation diagnosis and to study the surgical results of a dermoid cyst of the nose according to the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of medical histories with the diagnosis of "Dermoid cyst of the back of the nose and nasal cavity, epidermal cyst of the back of the nose, glioma, encephalocele" was conducted from 2017 to 2022 in the Pediatric Otorhinolaryngological Department of the National Medical Research Center for Otorhinolaryngology of the Federal Medical-Biological Agency of Russia. The case histories were analyzed by the nature of the lesion, the imaging techniques performed, the course of the operation and the results obtained. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 16 medical histories were analyzed, the average age was 4.5 years (range 10 months - 15 years), over the past 5 years with a diagnosis of "Dermoid cyst of the nasal dorsum and nasal cavity, glioma, epidermal cyst of the nasal dorsum, encephalocele". All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative period, 14 patients also underwent computed tomography (CT). RESULT: Of these, 7 had a confirmed dermoid cyst with a fistula, 3 patients without a fistula, 3 patients had glioma, and 1 had encephalocele, 2 patients had an epidermoid cyst. A fistulous opening of the dermoid cyst of the nasal dorsum and nasal cavity was observed in the upper third of the nasal dorsum in 3 children, in the middle third in 2 patients and in the lower third in 2 children. The article presents a scheme for the characteristics of the lesion and the tactics of surgical treatment in comparison with the data of foreign authors. Intraoperatively, intracranial spread occurred in 6 patients. Various surgical approaches for intracranial proliferation and a corresponding literature review are also presented. Catamnestic follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 years (on average, 3.5 years), no relapses or postoperative complications were noted. CONCLUSION: Nasal median heterotopias are a rare congenital anomaly. Preoperative preparation should include CT and MRI to assess the lesion and exclude intracranial spread. The surgical approach depended directly on the localization of heterotopia and its spread. All patients had a good cosmetic result after the surgical treatment performed by us according to the author's method.

Pleomorphic adenoma is very rare in the sinonasal region, with the most common localization on the nasal septum, followed by lateral nasal wall. In the case presented, a 72-year-old woman was complaining of the right sided nasal obstruction without any other symptoms. The symptom started a year before and increased progressively. Anterior rhinoscopy revealed a mucosa-covered, smooth-surfaced, soft, polypoid, pale, grayish-pink in color mass in the right nasal cavity, approximately 2x2 cm in size. Nasal endoscopy showed the mass to have a broad base on the lateral nasal wall. Computerized tomography scan showed a homogeneous, solid soft tissue mass, 25x18x12 mm in size, which was attached to the lateral nasal wall, behind the nasal vestibule, just in front of the inferior turbinate. Endonasal endoscopic complete tumor excision was performed, during which some spillage of the tumor occurred. Histology diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands. The patient was followed up on regular basis and had no tumor recurrence in the 6th postoperative year. Intranasal pleomorphic adenoma arising from the lateral nasal wall in front of the inferior turbinate is extremely rare, so the presented case is probably the first ever published.

BACKGROUND: Spindle cell tumors are rare and can occur in any organ or tissue. Due to their rarity the clinicopathological features and diagnostic protocols have not been adequately studied. However, it has become necessary to develop differential diagnosis of spindle cell tumors. Here, we report a case of a nasal spindle cell tumor diagnosed at our hospital in attempt to contribute to this gap in literature. KEY POINTS FROM THE CASE: A male in his 30s was admitted to our hospital with nasal obstruction that had persisted for several years. Electronic fibrolaryngoscopy revealed a smooth neoplasm within the nasal cavity. MAIN LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM THIS CASE REPORT: The results of this case emphasize that spindle cell tumors have large morphological variations, and it is difficult to determine the origin of tumor cells using hematoxylin and eosin staining alone. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the immunohistochemistry and combine it with clinical symptoms to diagnose the disease.

ABSTRACT: Primary mucosal malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor with aggressive behavior and a dismal prognosis. An extremely rare tumor that accounts for 0.7% to 1% of all melanomas in Caucasian populations and between 4% and 8% of malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Taking into account the rarity, it is important to note that malignant melanoma should be considered when making a differential diagnosis of tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Two cases of primary malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity both arising in females, one in a 60-year-old and the other in a 64-year-old, both of whom presented with nasal obstruction and brief symptomatic epistaxis are being presented here. The diagnosis being confirmed by a histopathological examination along with an immunohistochemical analysis by using S100 and HMB45.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management and prognostic features of solitary fibrous tumorï¼SFTï¼ in nasal cavity, sinus and skull base. Methods:The clinical data of 12 patients with STF from nasal cavity, sinus and cranial base admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from April 2014 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 patients admitted to the department of Otolaryngology head and neck surgery and 8 patients admitted to the department of skull base surgery The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, management and prognosis were analyzed. Results:Twelve patients were included in this research, including 7 males and 5 females. All patients received surgical treatment, and 4 patients also received postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. After follow-up for 12-60 months, 4 patients with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy had a good prognosis, and among 8 patients who did not receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, 6 patients had good prognosis and 2 patients showed relapse. Four patients with a history of recurrence of SFT after surgery were admitted to our hospital for surgical treatment, in which 1 patient had relapse after surgery, and none had metastasis. Nasal cavity and sinus to skull base SFT is rare. The most effective treatment for this disease is surgical resection, and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiation and long-term follow-up can achieve a better prognosis. En bloc resection is the key to treatment success.

ABSTRACT: Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is an extremely rare and aggressive malignant tumor arising in the sinonasal tract, having a combined clinicopathological feature of teratoma and carcinosarcoma. It shows a male predominance and affects adults with an age range of 18-79 years and a mean age of 60 years. Here, we report a case of SNTCS in a 14-year-old male patient who presented with swelling over the upper right alveolus and pain in the right jaw for 2 months. The tumor was completely removed by right total maxillectomy with orbital mess reconstruction, and postoperative radiotherapy with chemotherapy was given. The follow-up of the patient for 2 years has shown evidence of recurrence and is now on palliative care.

Olfactory neuroblastomas are uncommon malignancies that arise from olfactory receptor cells located high in the nasal cavity. Accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in determining clinical results and guiding treatment decisions. Diagnosis can be a major challenge for pathologists, especially when dealing with tumours with poor differentiation. The discovery of several molecular and immunohistochemical markers would help to overcome classification difficulties. Due to the paucity of large-scale studies, standardisation of diagnosis, treatment and prediction of outcome remains a challenge. Surgical resection by endoscopic techniques with the addition of postoperative irradiation is the treatment of choice. In addition, it is advisable to consider elective neck irradiation to minimise the risk of nodal recurrence. Molecular characterisation will help not only to make more accurate diagnoses but also to identify specific molecular targets that can be used to develop personalised treatment options tailored to each patient. The present review aims to summarise the current state of knowledge on histopathological diagnosis, the molecular biology and management of this disease.

Objectives: Discrimination of nasal cavity lesions using nasal endoscopy is challenging because of the differences in clinical manifestations and treatment strategies. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical visual assessment (CVA) of nasal cavity masses using endoscopic images and determine whether there is a difference according to pathologic class and the examiners' experience. Methods: We collected pathologically confirmed endoscopic images of normal findings, nasal polyp (NP), benign tumor, and malignant tumor (each class contained 100 images) randomly selected. Eighteen otolaryngologists, including six junior residents, six senior residents, and six board-certified rhinologists classified the test set images into four classes of lesions by CVA. Diagnostic performance according to the pathologic class and the examiner's experience level was evaluated based on overall accuracy, F1-score, confusion matrix, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: Diagnostic performance was significantly different according to the pathological class of nasal cavity mass lesions with the overall accuracy reported high in the order of normal, NP, benign tumor, and malignant tumor (0.926 ± 0.100; 0.819 ± 0.135; 0.580 ± 0.112; 0.478 ± 0.187, respectively), F1 score (0.937 ± 0.076; 0.730 ± 0.093; 0.549 ± 0.080; 0.554 ± 0.146, respectively) and AUC value (0.96 ± 0.06; 0.84 ± 0.07; 0.70 ± 0.05; 0.71 ± 0.08, respectively). The expert rhinologist group achieved higher overall accuracy than the resident group (0.756 ± 0.157 vs. 0.680 ± 0.239, p < .05). Conclusion: CVA for nasal cavity mass was highly dependent on the pathologic class and examiner's experience. The overall accuracy was reliably high for normal findings, but low in classifying benign and malignant tumors. Differential diagnosis of lesions solely based on nasal endoscopic evaluation is challenging. Therefore, clinicians should consider further clinical evaluation for suspicious cases.

OBJECTIVE: Nasal glioma, also known as nasal glial heterotopia, is a rare tumor-like lesion that often affects newborns or infants with no hereditary predisposition. CASE REPORT: A 4-year-old child with a growth on the nasal dorsum since birth was diagnosed with nasal glial heterotopia/nasal glioma. The lesion showed a sclerotic fibroma/collagenoma-like storiform pattern with entrapped glial tissue that was S100 and GFAP positive. CONCLUSION: When a biopsy of the nasal dorsum demonstrates sclerotic microscopic findings with a storiform pattern, nasal glioma should be considered before making a diagnosis in the collagen-rich tissue spectrum (collagenoma or Gardner's fibroma), and an immunohistochemical panel should be requested to demonstrate the presence of an unrecognized light microscopically visible glial component.

Tumors located in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and the skull base comprise a wide range of histologic subtypes. Among them, neuroendocrine and undifferentiated tumors are rare but noteworthy, because of their distinctive features, aggressive nature, and diagnostic complexities. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE and the Scopus databases from 2019 until inception. The keywords "neuroendocrine", "undifferentiated", "nose", "sinonasal", "paranasal", "skull base" were used. Thirty-eight articles referring to neuroendocrine and undifferentiated tumors of the nose, paranasal sinuses and the skull base were finally included and analyzed. Neuroendocrine and undifferentiated tumors of the nose, paranasal sinuses and the skull base are infrequent malignancies, most commonly affecting middle-aged men. They usually present with non-specific symptoms, even though ocular or neurologic manifestations may occur. Prognosis is generally poor; however, novel targeted and immunological therapies have shown promising results. Sinonasal Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (SNECs) carry distinct histological and immunohistochemical features. Management consists of surgical resection coupled with systematic therapy. Sinonasal Undifferentiated Carcinomas (SNUCs) lack specific squamous or glandular features. They typically stain positive for pancytokeratin and INI1 antibody. Treatment includes induction chemotherapy, followed by a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Olfactory neuroblastomas (ONBs) have neuroepithelial or neuroblastic features. They show diffuse positivity for various markers, including synaptophysin, chromogranin, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Surgical resection plus radiotherapy is considered the treatment of choice. In conclusion, neuroendocrine and undifferentiated tumors arising from the nose, paranasal sinuses and the skull base represent a unique group of malignancies. A thorough understanding of their clinical features, molecular changes, diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors is critical for providing optimal patient care. Still, continued research efforts and multidisciplinary collaboration are warranted, in order to improve outcomes for patients diagnosed with these rare and aggressive tumors.

ABSTRACT: Extranodal nasal-type natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Neoplastic lymphocytes are positive for CD4, CD56, and CD20, a specific B-cell marker. CD20 positive NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare, with only nine reported cases. This paper reports a case of nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma with CD20 positivity in a 47-year-old woman. The patient presented with bilateral nasal congestion and bloody nasal cavity secretions for 2 months. Computed tomography revealed thickening of the nasal mucosa and posterior wall of the nasopharyngeal crest, and the left and right cervical lymph nodes were enlarged. On histopathology, the lesion was composed of medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells and vascular infringement. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells were positive for CD20, CD3, CD56, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded RNA in situ hybridization. The patient was treated with radiotherapy for 2 months and is currently well.

This case report describes 2 dogs, an Appenzeller Mountain dog and an Irish Wolfhound, with angioleiomyoma within the nasal cavity. Endoscopic surgical resection resulted in cure in both dogs. Macroscopically and on diagnostic imaging, tumor masses may appear malignant because of local turbinate destruction. This highlights the importance of histological examination before any recommendations are made to owners because tumors of the nasal cavity may be benign and surgery curative.

BACKGROUND: We report a nasal cavity unusual perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) mimicking mucosal melanoma. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was performed using BenchMark Ultra and panel of antibodies. The Ion Torrent platform and Ion AmpliSeq cancer hotspot panel were utilized for DNA genotyping. Target-specific RNA libraries for the detection of fusion transcripts were constructed using Archer Universal RNA Reagent Kit v2 and Archer FusionPlex Solid Tumor panel and sequenced on the MiSeqDx instrument. RESULTS: The tumor, diagnosed in 46-year-old female, was composed of spindle cells, and lacked pigmentation. Immunohistochemically, it showed a patchy HMB-45 positivity. Other melanocytic markers (S100 protein, Melan-A, SOX10) were negative. The tumor cells were weakly positive for KIT (CD117) while negative for smooth muscle actin, pancytokeratin cocktail (AE1/AE3), and synaptophysin. Diagnosis of primary sinonasal tract mucosal melanoma was favored. Additional molecular studies detected PRCC :: TFE3 fusion as the sole genetic change, and suggested the diagnosis of unusual PEComa. Previously, TFE3 fusions were reported in a subset of PEComas but not in melanomas, while PRCC involvement has only been documented once in an ocular PEComa. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong nuclear TFE3 expression concordant with the molecular findings. CONCLUSIONS: This report emphasis the importance of molecular testing in the differential diagnosis between PEComa and melanoma, especially when the tumor arises in a site typical of melanoma but showing an unusual morphology and immunophenotype. The detection of TFE3 fusion transcripts suggested the diagnosis of SNT PEComa, although it cannot be excluded that this and similar tumors represent a distinct diagnostic category.

Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor developing from the olfactory neuroepithelium. It represents less than 5% of all cancers of the nasal cavity. We are going to report the observation of a patient followed at the regional oncology center of Oujda in Morocco who presented a locally advanced esthesioneuroblastoma. Treatment consisted of surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy on the tumor bed. Currently, the patient is in good control of his disease.

Hyponatremia is the most common fluid electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is the main cause of normovolemic hyponatremia, it can be caused by diverse etiologies: malignant tumors are the most feared cause that clinician persists in finding. Exceptionally, SIADH can complicate Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) or olfactory neuroblastoma, a rare tumor of the nasal sinus cavities. We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient admitted for recurrent headaches and vomiting, with a profound normovolemic hyponatremia at the initial assessment. Biological explorations have concluded in a SIADH. Imaging showed a mass of the left nasal cavity with extensions to the ipsilateral paranasal sinuses. The biopsy of the lesion, under endoscopic control, was inconclusive. The anatomopathological study, after surgical removal, concluded in ENB. The postoperative evolution was marked by the normalization of the natremia.
