Slides prepared and compiled by highly experienced ENT teacher, Dr. Krishna Koirala from Nepal , for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate ENT students in the field of otorhinolaryngology.
A clear and concise explanation of the basic concepts in the subject matter concerned. He is the Head of department with a sound knowledge in the field of ENT to teach both undergraduate and postgraduate ENT students
3. Osteoma
• Common incidental finding in sinus x-rays
• Most common in frontal sinus
• Mostly asymptomatic and do not grow
• Surgery required for symptomatic osteomas or
those that rapidly increase in size
• Complete removal of tumor with its base - done by
bicoronal osteoplastic flap technique
8. Ossifying fibroma (Fibrous dysplasia)
• Normal medullary bone replaced by abnormal
proliferation of fibrous tissue, resulting in distortion
and expansion of bone
• C.T. scan : ground - glass appearance with regions of
osteolysis and calcification
• Treatment : complete surgical excision
• Recurrence common
10. Inverted papilloma
• Locally aggressive intermediate sino-
nasal tumour
• Synonyms: Ringertz tumor, Schneiderian
papilloma , Cylindrical cell papilloma
• Common in males between 50-70 years
• Arises from the lateral wall of nose
• Presents as unilateral, friable, leaf like
fleshy mass arising from middle meatus
• Diagnosis : tissue biopsy
11. C.T. scan Nose and P.N.S. Contrast coronal
cuts
• Intra-nasal and maxillary
mass with opacification of
maxillary and ethmoid
sinuses
• Bone destruction of lateral
nasal wall
12. H.P.E. : Inward invasion of hyperplastic epithelium
into underlying stroma
13. • Treatment:
− Medial maxillectomy and en bloc ethmoidectomy by lateral
rhinotomy or midfacial degloving approach is the standard
• Squamous cell ca present in 10 -15% cases
• Radiotherapy is avoided
• Marked tendency to recur after surgical removal
− 80% after intrananasal removal
− 60% after Caldwell –Luc surgery
− 30% after medial maxillectomy
20. Epidemiology
• O.5% of all body cancers
• 15% of all Head and Neck malignancies
• Maxillary sinus is the most common
• Squamous cell carcinoma : 80-85%
• Adenocarcinoma common in ethmoid
• Male : female = 2:1
• Common age group : 45-60 years
25. Late clinical features
• Medial spread
− Unilateral nasal obstruction
− Unilateral purulent nasal discharge
− Epistaxis
− Unilateral, friable, nasal mass
• Anterior spread
− Cheek swelling
− Invasion of facial skin
26. • Inferior spread
− Expansion of alveolus with dental pain
− Loosening of teeth, poor fitting of dentures
− Swelling in hard palate or alveolus
• Superior spread
− Proptosis
− Diplopia
− Ocular pain
27.
28. • Posterior spread
− Pterygoid muscle involvement trismus
• Intracranial spread
− Via Ethmoid, cribriform plate or foramen lacerum
• Lymphatic spread
− Neck node metastases in late stages
• Systemic spread
− Lungs, bone ,liver
29. Diagnosis
• Diagnostic nasal endoscopy
• X-ray paranasal sinus : Expansion and destruction of
bony wall
• C.T. Scan axial & coronal cuts with contrast
• Biopsy
30.
31. Classification
• Ohngren's Classification
– Ohngren's line: An imaginary plane extending
between medial canthus of eye and angle of
mandible
– Supra structural growths situated above this plane
have a poorer prognosis
– Infra structural growths situated below this plane
have better prognosis
32. • Lederman’s Classification
− 2 horizontal lines of Sebileau pass through floors
of orbits & maxillary sinus, producing
− Suprastructure : Ethmoid, sphenoid & frontal
sinuses; olfactory area of nose
− Mesostructure : maxillary sinus & respiratory
part of nose
− Infrastructure: alveolar process
33.
34. T.N.M. Staging
• T1
– Tumor confined to antral mucosa
• T2
– Bone destruction of hard palate / middle meatus
• T3
– Involvement of skin of cheek, floor or medial wall of orbit,
ethmoid sinus, posterior antral wall, pterygoid plates,
infratemporal fossa
• T4
– Involvement of orbital contents, cribriform plate, frontal or
sphenoid sinus, skull base, nasopharynx
35. Treatment options
• T1 /T2 : Surgery or Radiotherapy
• T3 : Surgery + Radiotherapy
• T4 : Surgery + Radiotherapy +Chemotherapy
− Europeans: Pre-operative Radiotherapy (5000-6500
c Gy) surgery after 4-6 weeks
− Americans: Surgery post-operative Radiotherapy
after 4-6 weeks
36. Surgical Options
• Total maxillectomy (Weber Fergusson incision)
− Malignancy limited to maxilla
• Radical maxillectomy with orbital exenteretion (Weber
Fergusson Diffenbach incision)
− Involvement of orbital fat
• Anterior Cranio Facial Resection (extended lateral
rhinotomy incision)
− Involvement of cribriform plate, frontal sinus
43. Indications of orbital exenteretion
• Involvement of orbital apex
• Involvement of extra-ocular muscles
• Involvement of bulbar conjunctiva or sclera
• Lid involvement beyond a reasonable hope for
reconstruction
• Non - resectable full thickness invasion through
periorbita into retrobulbar fat
