Spectrum of Sinonasal Tumors: A 10-year Experience at a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India

Abstract: Tumors of the nasal cavity are often grouped with those in the paranasal sinuses. Benign tumors constituted approximately 75% of tumors in our hospital. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignancy of this region. These tumors need to be studied closely and accurately because their proximity to vital structures pose significant challenges for their treatment and may be the source of significant patient morbidity.

“…Although, mycology studies were not carried out on the excised tissue, the histopathological examination did not show typical features suggestive of fungal disease such as the presence of granulomas with refractile fungal hyphae and spores. Epistaxis, facial deformity, diplopia, facial numbness and other features suggestive of malignant sino-nasal tumours [14] were also absent in our patient.…”

“…Actually, among 43 malignant tumors of the nasal septum included in Young study, there has been only one case of ACC. The same remark was reported in Beatty et al study, where one single case of ACC was found amongst 85 nasal septum carcinomas [6][7][8][9]. Furthermore, very few cases of ACC of the posterior nasal septum are encountered in the literature [7,10,11].…”

The typical presentation of LCHs is as intermittent, painless unilateral epistaxis.…”
