Endoscopic removal of sinonasal inverted papilloma including endoscopic medial maxillectomy.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Surgical excision is regarded as the treatment of choice for sinonasal inverted papilloma. Resection can be performed endoscopically or through an external approach. Debate exists about which approach to use. The study presents different endoscopic techniques for various tumor locations and reviews the results. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study and an integrated literature review. METHODS: Seventeen consecutive patients with inverted papilloma who underwent endoscopic surgical excision, including medial maxillectomies and modified Lothrop procedures, were analyzed. Preoperative symptoms, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings, operative findings, tumor stage, and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: Thirteen male and four female patients presented with inverted papilloma between December 1993 and October 2001. Nasal obstruction was the most common presenting symptom (50%). Sixty-five percent of tumors were either stage II or stage III. Endoscopic resection was the primary treatment in 14 patients. Of the three patients who were secondarily treated endoscopically, one had recurrence and was subsequently found to have focus of squamous cell carcinoma. The overall recurrence rate was 6% and the incidence of malignancy was 6% (1 of 17). Recurrence rate for primary resections was zero (0 of 14). Five patients underwent endoscopic medial maxillectomies, and one patient with frontal sinus inverted papilloma was successfully treated with a modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic sinus surgery is a viable treatment alternative for sinonasal inverted papilloma. Recurrence rates for primary treatment are comparable to external approaches. Close follow-up of patients is mandatory because recurrence may be associated with malignancy.

Ameloblastoma of the maxilla. Case report.

A basal cell maxillary ameloblastoma became obvious as an asymptomatic swelling of the left buccal sulcus and alveolar process, although a large extension into the maxillary sinus up to the nasal conchae and the orbital floor had already occurred. The painless and slow growth of the lesion, the thin bone of the upper jaws, the adjacent cavities and the vital structures are the main factors for delay in recognition and thus the potentially lethal result of a maxillary ameloblastoma. A review of location, age, sex and race predilection, clinical course, radiographic appearance, histological types and treatment methods in made.

Pediatric sino-orbital desmoid fibromatosis.

Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare tumor of the head and neck. Only five cases involving the sino-orbital region have been previously reported in the literature. In this report we describe the sixth such case, involving a 2-year-old boy, and review the literature.

Surgical outcome of radical maxillectomy in advanced maxillary sinus cancers.

We investigated the surgical outcome of radical maxillectomy in advanced maxillary sinus cancers invading through the posterior wall and into the infratemporal fossa. Twenty-eight patients with maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma, who visited the Otorhinolaryngology Department at Severance Hospital from March, 1993 to February, 2001 and underwent the surgery, were analyzed retrospectively by reviewing clinical medical records and radiologic test results. The mean follow- up period was 78.8 months.(26-162 months) Local recurrence, sites of local recurrence, and the 2-year disease-free survival rate were analyzed. Of the total 28 cases, 9 cases were T3, and 19 cases were T4. Total maxillectomy was performed in 12 cases (42.9%) and radical maxillectomy in 16 cases (57.1%). Regardless of staging, radical maxillectomy was performed only when cancers invaded through the posterior wall and into the infratemporal fossa. When cancers only maginally or did not invade the posterior wall, total maxillectomy was performed. The 2-year disease-free survival rate was 75% for both total and radical maxillectomy, and the local recurrence rates were 8.3% and 18.7% respectively. All recurrence occurred at the posterior resection margin of the maxillectomy. We strongly recommend the use of radical maxillectomy in the cases of advanced maxillary sinus cancers invading the infratemporal fossa. Radical maxillectomy can provide sufficient safety margins and lower the local recurrence rate.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the maxillary sinus.

A rare localization of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma is presented. Review of the literature showed that the biological behavior of this group of tumors is obscure. The histomorphologic pattern does not always reflect the malignant character, the tendency for recurrence, and the metastasizing potential of the individual tumor. Radiotherapy is ineffective, so the surgeon must opt for radical excision. Additional clinical reports, long-term follow-up, and electron microscopic studies are needed to establish the biological behavior of this group of tumors.

Recurrent cementifying fibroma of the maxilla: report of case.

A case of recurrent cementifying fibroma of the maxilla has been presented. When the lesion was excised in 1948, it was reportedly well delineated from surrounding bone. There was no delineation of the tumor from the surrounding bone at the time of the operation in 1972.

[Heat in oncologic therapy].

Three types of "fire" are used today against cancer: diathermocoagulation, hyperthermia and radiotherapy. Their selective (HT, RT) and non selective (DTC) cytotoxic action are briefly discussed. Hyperthermia, of which the Author summarizes the biological basis, the means of production and the clinical results, is particularly to be considered as an optimal integration of radiotherapy.

Bilateral primary malignant neoplasms of the maxillary sinus: report of a case and statistical analysis of the reports in Japan.

Although double primary malignant neoplasms of bilateral maxillary sinuses wee regraded as extremely rare, there have been 50 patients described in Japan since 1937. Among them only eight cases showed the histologic distinction between both sides. A 64-year-old man with double primary carcinomas had a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the left maxillary sinus and a papillary adenocarcinoma of the right one with an interval of three years. He was treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and regional chemotherapy. The histologic combination of these tumors could not be found so far. The advantage of this combination treatment for the carcinoma of the maxillary sinus is stressed.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is the malignant counterpart of calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour and dentinogenic ghost cell tumour. This is the case of a middle-aged male who presented with a slow-growing maxillary tumour. He was asymptomatic until pain symptoms developed prior to initial presentation. The excised tumour was diagnosed as a ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma. More case reports are needed for further understanding of this rare malignant odontogenic tumour.
