INTRODUCTION
• Tumours of the sinonasal region comprise a
diverse group of BENIGN and MALIGNANT
neoplasms.
• The malignant type often masquerade as
chronic inflammatory conditions, thus they
may progress unrecognized and untreated.
.
STATEMENT OF IMPORTANCE
• The naturally hidden location of sinonasal
tumours at the early disease stages and its
nonspecific presentation contribute to delay in
management and thus morbidity and
mortality

mucus-producing basal cells.

• Metastasizes less frequent than melanoma
elsewhere, but more often to the lungs and
brain
OLFACTORY NEUROBLASTOMA
• Arises from basal cell within the olfactory
neuroepithelium
• Age- bimodal
• More common in women
• Very vascular and bleeds profusely on biopsy
• Moderately radiosensitive
CLINICAL FEATURES
• The early symptoms are usually non specific-
nasal discharge, obstruction.

sinus involved and the extent of involvement.

cited as 8 months or more.

Principles-

• Restoration of oronasal separation
• Separation of the nasal cavity from the cranial
cavity
• Prosthesis
FUTURE
• The role of endoscopic sinus surgery for the
resection of malignant tumours of the nasal
cavity and paranasal sinuses will continue to
evolve and the results closely scrutinized.
• The use of IMRT will continue to gain
acceptance and probably will be the standard
mode of radiation treatment given for all head
and neck patients in the future.
CONCLUSION
• Early presentation, high index of suspicion and
institution of management in these patients
will go a long way in improving their
treatment and quality of life

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Tumors of the nasal cavity proper are approximately evenly divided between benign and malignant neoplasia, with inverting papilloma predominating in the benign group and squamous cell carcinoma in the malignant. Therefore they constitute a great challenge to the head & neck surgeon as they often present with advanced disease
  • #5 Masqueradiong as CRS- Of course sociocultural belifs in our environment –herbs,self medication Prompt dx and appropriate Rx help achieve good outcome and improved QOL
  • #6 PNS- paired air containing bons…
  • #8 Right nasal cavity sagittal Note preformed pathways thru which Ca can spread or via direct invasion
  • #9 OSTIOMEATAL COMPLEX Bones (max ostium, middle turbinate, uncinate process) spaces( BIH bulla,infundibulum,hiatus semilunaris) The term “ostiomeatal unit” represents the area on the lateral nasal wall (middle meatus) that receives drainage from the anterior  and medial ethmoid cells, frontal sinus, and maxillary sinus. It is an antomically constricted area that is prone to blockage, especially in the presence of structural anomalies, mucosal swelling or tumors. In addition, ostia themselves are small. An impairment in the ventilation of sinus due to such reasons lead to Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
  • #10 Lymphatic Drainage The anterior nose has the same lymphatic drainage as the external nose. These tend to spread to the submental or level I area. The posterior nose tends to drain to the retropharyngeal nodes as well as the lateral pharyngeal nodes, which eventually drain into the level II. The main part of the. Nasal cavity/PNS drains via the nasopharynx to retropharyngeal nodes and upper deep cervical nodes (levels 2a and 2b)…THE lower anterior portion to level 1b (submandibular) parotid and jugulodigastric (2a)
  • #19 Frontal sinus osteoma
  • #22 Inverting papilloma traces its name to the histologic appearance with squamous epithelium inverted in the polyps Inverted papillomas arise from the Schneiderian membrane, which is an invagination of the olfactory ectoderm that occurs during the fourth week of embryonic development. The mucosa creates a transitional zone between the endodermally-derived respiratory epithelium of the nasopharynx and keratinizing squamous epithelium with the nasal vestibule
  • #25  constitute majority of sinonasal neoplasms …45-80% of all sinus tumors.
  • #26 . Those that arise from the nasal vestibule or anterior nasal septum appear to have a poorer prognosis due to its ability to infiltrate the local soft tissues of the face, such as the columella, nasal floor, or upper lip that are associated with a higher risk of regional spread to the neck nodes. extent of disease is a more important prognostic factor than the degree of differentiation.
  • #28 Tubular pattern contains simple tubules composed of inner ductal and outer myoepithelial cells Cribriform pattern is composed of predominantly myoepithelial cells with myxoid or hyalinized globules Solid pattern is solid nests composed of sheets of basaloid cells
  • #31 bimodal, 20 and 50yrs of age
  • #39 Lymph node enlargement (sarcoma, melanoma, olfactory neuroblastoma
  • #55 bleeding, cerebrospinal fluid leak, infection (including intracranial abscess and meningitis), and blindness. Radio(postradiation retinopathy or optic neuropathy xerostomia, mucositis, trismus, and osteonecrosis..
  • #57 oronasal separation, thus facilitating speech and swallowing Don’t sacrifice function for aesthetics
  • #58 Surgeons embracing this approach need to understand the limits of this approach and continue to adhere to oncological principles. The emergence of proton therapy may further reduce the complications due to radiation therapy.
