“…In almost all the cases reported in the English literature, the treatment consisted of surgery (7,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). In certain studies, conventional radiotherapy was used alone or in combination with either surgery or chemotherapy, but the efficacy of such regimens is yet to be proven (22).…”

Abstract. The aim of the present study was to review all cases of neuroendocrine tumors of the ear, nose and throat in a tertiary care center, as well as the data published in the literature. The study presents all the cases of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the Hotel Dieu De France Hospital (Beirut, Lebanon) between January 2004 and January 2014. The data reported in the English and French literature is also reviewed with regard to the typical clinical presentation and management of these tumors. Three cases of NETs presented to the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery during the study period. One case was of an atypical carcinoid (AC) tumor of the larynx, one case was of a typical carcinoid tumor in the middle ear and the third case was, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported case of an AC tumor of the nasopharynx. Overall, NETs are rare in the head and neck. The clinical presentation can mimic any other tumor in the same localization in the absence of a carcinoid syndrome. Management of these tumors remains controversial, but a complete excision of the tumor is crucial, followed by possible adjuvant treatment.

O artigo descreve o caso de um tumor carcinóide de nasofaringe confirmado por análise imuno-histoquímica. A topografia atingida é incomum nesta doença, que tem predileção por sítios gastrointestinais (apêndice íleo-cecal, íleo e reto), e em menor proporção por sítios do trato aerodigestivo, sendo mais comuns os brônquios e a laringe. Paciente de 55 anos apresentouse com obstrução nasal, cefaléia e dor retro-orbitária, com exames complementares que evidenciavam volumosa massa em nasofaringe com extensão para cavidade nasal e base de crânio; sem doença em outra topografia. Foi realizada biópsia, via fossa nasal, cujo laudo histopatológico evidenciou tumor carcinóide de nasofaringe bem diferenciado, extremamente celular e monótomo à HE; ao AE1/AE3 apresentou reatividade para ceratina com formação de DOT paranuclear e cromogramina; S100 e citoqueratina negativos. Devido à irressecabilidade do tumor, foi indicada radioterapia paliativa com 70Gy em 35 frações. O resultado clínico foi satisfatório porém sem involução tumoral significativa. A radioterapia pode ser utilizada exclusivamente em tratamento paliativo, porém seus resultados no controle de doença local são ruins.
