BACKGROUND A rare head and neck disease that may benefit from definitive or palliative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is sinonasal malignant melanoma. These tumors can be very aggressive and often lead to severe epistaxis and significant mass effect. Results from only a handful of head and neck sinonasal malignant melanoma treated with SBRT are available in the current literature. ...

Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (ITAC) are very uncommon, with an overall incidence of <1 case per 1 million person-years and prevalent among people who work for prolonged periods in wood or leather industries. Here, we present a rare sinonasal adenocarcinoma 38yr old male.

sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (sntcs) is a rare tumor characterized by mixture architecture of epithelial and mesenchymal components. sntcs is a highly malignant tumor displaying progressive and aggressive growth with poor prognosis. only about 40% of all patients survive after five years. it seems the combination of surgery and radiotherapy currently is the most effective treatment. in this r...

In this review, we demonstrate that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently report sinonasal symptoms. Furthermore, we present evidence that smoking on its own can cause nasal disease and that, in COPD patients, nasal inflammation mimics that of the bronchi. All this evidence suggests that COPD-related sinonasal disease does exist and that smoking on its own rather...

Introduction: Sinonasal malignancies are uncommon neoplasms with several histological subtypes. These malignancies have a poor prognosis and, because of the nonspecific nature of the symptoms, most patients are diagnosed late when the disease is already at an advanced stage. Therefore, most sinonasal malignancies tend to be treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Understanding the ...

The nose and lungs have both histological and functional similarities and differences. Sinonasal and bronchial involvement are associated in many diseases. Cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, Young's syndrome, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are diseases in which bronchiectasis and rhinosinusitis are both present. This review considers the diseases in which bronchiectasis occurs alo...

Abstract Sinonasal non-intestinal-type adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, with limited large-scale studies available in the medical literature. We present case report of 60-year-old male patient sinonasal adenocarcinoma, isolate lagophthalmos and abducens nerve palsy, who had been exposed for 30 years to hard wood dust.

introduction: the objective of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to obtain epidemiological data from the charts of 297 patients with nasal polyposis who were operated on in a referral hospital in mashhad and to determine the frequency of the presenting symptoms of nasal polyps.  materials and methods: the variables recorded included age, gender, the presence of asthma or allergic rhi...

OBJECTIVES Malignancies arising from the sinonasal tract, which includes the nose, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx, are uncommon. Although adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common cancer occurring in the sinonasal tract, only few studies have been reported. This retrospective review was performed to identify the clinical features and treatment outcomes of sinonasal ACC. MET...

OBJECTIVE The study purpose was to detect the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to computed tomography (CT) and different imaging modalities as conventional radiology in evaluation of sinonasal neoplasms diagnosed by Histopathology. METHODS Thirty patients (16 males and 14 females) were complaining of symptoms related to sinonasal tract. After thorough clinical and local exam...
