“…In the past, open surgery, such as craniofacial resection, lateral rhinotomy, or midfacial degloving, was the only strategy to achieve free margins. Based on the literature [ 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 ], the endoscopic approach has gained acceptance as long-term results have become available and has demonstrated comparable disease-free survival and recurrence rates with excellent functional outcomes and a better quality of life [ Table 1 ]. Major complications such as postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, meningitis, massive epistaxis requiring blood transfusion, stroke, and death have rarely been reported or could be predicted preoperatively.…”

Navigation-assisted endoscopic endonasal surgery of a glomangiopericytoma with intraorbital extension: A case report and literature review

A glomangiopericytoma, or sinonasal type hemangiopericytoma, is a rare lesion which accounts for <0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. The mainstay treatment is wide excision. Instead of traditional open surgical approaches, such as midfacial degloving or lateral rhinotomy, we offer a case of 21-year-old male with diagnosis of glomangiopericytoma with skull base and intraorbital invasion and received navigation-assisted endoscopic excision of a glomangiopericytoma.

“…The estimated recurrence rate for glomangiopericytoma ranges from 7% to 40%; recurrence can be managed by additional surgery and/or adjuvant radiotherapy. [ 9 10 11 16 19 30 33 34 ] In addition to incomplete resection, other factors that have been reported to influence the recurrence rate include tumor size more than 5 cm, osseous invasion, severe nuclear pleomorphism, and high mitotic rate. [ 6 10 21 ] Due to the possibility of tumor recurrence, close patient surveillance with clinical and radiographic follow-up is mandatory for those patients.…”

Glomangiopericytoma simulating an intracavernous meningioma

Background:Glomangiopericytoma is an uncommonly encountered tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses, accounting for <0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. Extension of these lesions to the anterior or middle cranial fossa is rare. When this occurs, diagnosing glomangiopericytoma is extremely challenging, as it is often confused with other anterior skull base tumors.Case Description:We report a case of a giant glomangiopericytoma localizing into the cavernous sinus in a 48-year-old female who presented with mild left-sided ptosis for 48 months. The lesion simulated an intracavernous meningioma on preoperative imaging. An expanded endoscopic endonasal approach was used to debulk the portion of the lesion in the medial compartment of the cavernous sinus. Postoperatively, the patient's ptosis resolved completely, and no new deficits were sustained.Conclusion:This is the only case of glomangiopericytoma localizing solely to the cavernous sinus reported to date.

“…En la mayoría de los trabajos revisados el tratamiento fue la resección por vía endoscópica, excepto en aquellos casos donde el tumor era de un mayor tamaño o inaccesible para el endoscopio. En esos últimos casos, se optó por cirugía abierta vía Cadwell-Luc 15 .…”

El glomangiopericitoma es un tumor nasosinusal extremadamente raro, más frecuente en pacientes de edad avanzada y en mujeres. Si bien su etiopatogenia es desconocida, se reconocen ciertos factores predisponentes tales como hipertensión arterial, embarazo, trauma y uso de corticoides. Para su diagnóstico, resulta necesario recurrir tanto a estudio por imágenes como a la histología y técnicas de inmunohistoquímica. Microscópicamente se caracteriza por un prominente crecimiento perivascular de células uniformes ovales o fusiformes, dispuestas en fascículos cortos intercalados con capilares de diámetros variables ramificados en "asta de ciervo" y presenta inmunorreactividad positiva para actina, factor XIII-A y vimentina principalmente. Clínicamente este tumor presenta un comportamiento generalmente benigno, pero con una elevada tasa de recurrencia. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 71 años, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, que acudió a nuestro centro por rinorrea purulenta y epistaxis unilateral derecha de 5 años de evolución. Al examen se observa masa polipoidea en fosa nasal derecha con abundante vascularización, sin otros hallazgos al examen físico. La lesión es resecada en su totalidad mediante cirugía endoscópica. El estudio histológico e inmunohistoquímico son compatibles con glomangiopericitoma. La paciente evoluciona con remisión de su sintomatología y a los dos meses desde la resección no ha presentado evidencias de recurrencia.
