Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity: A 40-year review of 35 cases. .
Abstract We retrospectively reviewed 35 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma that had originated in the minor salivary glands of the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity. All patients had been seen at two tertiary-care referral centers in western New York State between 1960 and 2000. Twenty patients had
A rare case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the nasal cavity. .
Abstract Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the nasal cavity is rare. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who was evaluated for a rapidly enlarging subcutaneous mass on the nasal bridge. The tumor was diagnosed as a mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The patient underwent extensive surgical resection and
Protocol for the examination of specimens removed from patients with carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract: Carcinomas of the oral cavity including lip and tongue, nasal and paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, hypopharynx, oropharynx, and nasopharynx
Carcinomas of the Oral Cavity Including Lip and Tongue, Nasal and Paranasal Sinuses, Pharynx, Larynx, Salivary Glands, Hypopharynx, Oropharynx, and Nasopharynx The Cancer Committee of the College of American Pathologists, as part of its program to ensure quality for anatomic pathology, continues to
Low-grade adenocarcinoma of the nasal cavity-an unusual presentation: case report and review of the literature.
Abstract Low-grade nasal cavity adenocarcinoma is an unusual neoplasm. When it does occur, it often appears in conjunction with a history of epistaxis and nasal obstruction that spans a period of a few weeks to several months. Most of these tumors arise in patients who are middle-aged or older. We
Solitary malignant schwannoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: report of two rare cases.
Abstract Malignant schwannomas of the paranasal sinuses are extremely uncommon tumors, as only 18 well-documented cases have been previously published in the English-language literature. We report two new cases of solitary malignant schwannoma-one in a 23-year-old man and the other in a
Schwannoma of the nasal cavity.(Disease/Disorder overview)
Abstract Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors that occur throughout the body. They may present as either solitary or multiple masses. They rarely occur in the nasal cavity. The diagnosis is often made only after histologic examination. Because these lesions are radioresistant, the
Mucocutaneous angiomyolipoma: A report of 2 cases arising in the nasal cavity
* Objective.-Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a distinctive tumor that usually occurs in the kidney and rarely in the liver. Angiomyolipoma of other sites is extremely rare, and, to our knowledge, only 2 cases have been described in the nasal cavity. We present 2 additional cases of AML of the nasal cavity
Focal vascular malformation in the nasal cavity.
Most vascular tumors of the nasal cavity, such as hemangiomas and vascular malformations, occur in the septum (65% of cases), the lateral wall (18 or the vestibule (16 (1) Most of these vascular lesions arise in the anterior septum and are of the capillary type. (1-3) We describe a case of vascular
Extramedullary plasmacytoma manifesting as a palpable mass in the nasal cavity. .
Abstract We report a rare case of plasmacytoma of the nasal cavity in a 60-year-old man. The patient had a history of a steadily growing and palpable mass in the opening of the left nostril. The tumor was found to be localized, and it was identified as an extramedullary plasmacytoma. The patient
True hemangiopericytoma of the nasal cavity: Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study of 2 cases and a review of the literature on sinonasal hemangiopericytomas
* Two cases of nasal tumors with pericytic myoid differentiation are reported. The tumors occurred in a 77-yearold woman and a 60-year-old man as polypoid lesions covered by normal mucosa. Histologically, the tumors were composed of uniform short spindle or stellate cells with indistinct cell
