Abstract
All patients who had malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses who were treated by an endonasal, cranionasal or combined endonasal an external approach in the ENT Department of the Italian Hospital of Buenos Aires from March 2003 to August 2019 were selected. Patient data were collected prospectively and updated by reviewing electronic medical records.
Highlights
Twenty had malignant tumors originated in the paranasal sinuses
The rate of local control and survival that we obtained in patients treated for rhinosinusal malignant tumors by endonasal endoscopic surgery was 73.33%
To determine the local control and survival rates in malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity treated by endoscopic endonasal surgery
Summary
Malignant rhinosinusal tumors are rare and the histologies can be diverse.Some histological types imply a biological behavior that affects the prognosis, in addition to other factors such as the extension and location of the neoplasms.According to the factors mentioned above, the treatments may be different, and include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy as the only modality or in combination, and with different sequences.The first reports on the possibility of resecting rhinosinusal neoplasms using an endonasal approach with endoscopes alone [1] or combined with a craniotomy [2,3] occurred in the late 1990.Surgery for malignant tumors has evolved in the last 20 years and the endonasal approach with endoscopes alone or combined with a craniotomy in cases of extensive dural infiltration and intracranial involvement has Citation: Figueroa E, Serrano C, Ruggeri CS (2020) Endoscopic Surgery in Malignant Rhinosinusal Tumors.
