BACKGROUND The relative importance of surgery within multimodality regimens commonly used to treat advanced sinonasal malignancies remains unknown. METHODS One hundred two patients with locally advanced sinonasal cancers treated with proton beam radiation therapy with or without surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Extent of surgery and outcome variables of local control, disease-free survi...

The usual clinical presentation of sinonasal tumours includes symptoms that are indistinguishable from inflammatory sinus disease, namely nasal airway obstruction, pain, and epistaxis. Abnormal V1 and/or V2 sensations are a strong indication of the possibility of tumour. Computed tomography is the most reliable and informative imaging tool for evaluating the cancers of the paranasal sinuses. Ma...

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease, characterized by accumulation of thickened mucous secretions in exocrine glands. Although the major clinical manifestations of the disease are pancreatic and pulmonary disease, the majority of cystic fibrosis patients will develop sinonasal manifestations as well. This paper outlines the etiology, evaluation, and management of the nasal and sinus manifestat...

Objectives The use of topical corticosteroids to manage postoperative sinonasal symptoms after endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) has not been well studied. We quantified long-term impact steroid irrigations (SIs) on quality life patients ESBS. Methods Retrospective review at the University Pennsylvania undergoing ESBS from 2010 2019. Data patient demographics and treatment with nasal saline ...

DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized trial. SETTING Academic hospital and ambulatory clinic. PATIENTS Patients with recalcitrant CRS offered treatment with IEWM in addition to standard medical tr...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Extranodal natural killer/T-cell Lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare, aggressive malignancy that preferentially affects the paranasal region. This study analyzes the demographic, clinicopathologic, incidence, and survival characteristics of sinonasal ENKTL (SN-ENKTL) and extranasal ENKTL (EN-ENKTL) in a comparative fashion. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis. METHODS The Surve...

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an uncommon soft tissue malignancy that is typically found in the pediatric population. Here we describe a rare case of widely metastatic alveolar RMS of the right paranasal sinuses in an adult woman who presented with several months of unilateral sinus symptoms that was initially misdiagnosed as acute sinusitis. A middle-aged female presented with two months of right ...
