The Sphenoid Sinus

Abstract: Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors that are most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts and lungs. They seldom develop in the head and neck area as a primary tumor, and there have been rare reports of them arising in the sinonasal area. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman with a typical carcinoid tumor arising in the sphenoid sinus.

“…Blastomas of the olfactory nerve and paragangliomas are of neuroectodermal origin and develop from the olfactory membrane or head and neck paraganglia 302 . According to the WHO classification, neuroendocrine tumors are considered as grade I neoplasms (formerly known as low-grade neuroendocrine tumors or typical carcinoid), grade II neoplasms (formerly called intermediary neuroendocrine tumor or atypical carcinoid), and grade III neoplasms, small-cell carcinoma (formerly called high-grade neuroendocrine tumor or small-cell carcinoma) as well as grade III neoplasms, large-cell carcinoma (formerly known as high-grade neuroendocrine tumor or large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma) 303 .…”

“…They have a highly infiltrative growth behavior with frequent perineural and lymphovascular infiltration. Sinonasal neuroendocrine small-cell and large-cell carcinomas have a cytokeratin expression which allows differentiation for example with regard to olfactory neuroblastomas 303 .…”
