Sphenoid sinus inverted papilloma: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Introduction Inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumor of the nasal fossa, which usually originates from its lateral wall. Only 5% of cases demonstrate exclusive sinus involvement. Primary sphenoid sinus involvement is even rarer. Although considered a benign lesion, the tumor has a potentially invasive nature and has also been found to have an associated malignancy rate of 7 to 15%. Objectives To report a case of inverted nasal papilloma originating in a rare location: the sphenoid sinus. Resumed Report a 56-year-old woman, presented to our outpatient clinic complaining of frontal headache, occasional otalgia and recent forgetfulness. She was initially evaluated by a neurologist and then submitted to a head magnetic resonance imaging. A lesion was found to be filling both sphenoid sinuses. Sinus computed tomography showed an opacified sphenoid sinus with apparent bony integrity. The patient underwent sphenoidotomy through a transnasal endoscopic approach. A bleeding papillomatous lesion was identified. A biopsy was performed and histopathologic study suggested inverted papilloma. The lesion was then completely resected. The patient has been followed for 60 days after surgery; no signs of recurrence were found upon flexible nasofibroscope examination. Conclusion Inverted Papilloma exclusively involving the sphenoid sinus is a rare entity. Non specific symptomatology and Clinical presentation make this kind of tumor a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The Endoscopic Sphenoidotomy has been the treatment of choice. Close follow-up is required in order to detect possible recurrences and malignant transformation.

Surgery of Inverted Papilloma of the Maxillary Sinus via Translacrimal Approach-Long-Term Outcome and Literature Review.

Project description:There are several differential diagnoses of unilateral sinus disease. One of these is inverted papilloma (IP) of the maxillary sinus, which is a common benign tumor with a substantial rate of malignant transformation. In general, endoscopic endonasal techniques for addressing the tumor are favored nowadays instead of classical external approaches. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the long-term outcome of inverted papilloma treated endoscopically via the prelacrimal approach. We reviewed 17 patients with primary or recurrent IP of the maxillary sinus that were treated via the prelacrimal endoscopic endonasal technique. After a median follow-up period of 45.9 months (3.8 years), none of the 17 included patients showed signs of recurrent disease and no serious complications were reported. Hypoesthesia of the incisors was reported by four patients and was resolved with time in one. All of the maxillary sinuses could be fully visualized with the flexible endoscope. IP is an important differential diagnosis in the clinical finding of unilateral nasal polypoid lesions. The prelacrimal approach is an effective and safe method in the treatment of IP with limited patient morbidity.

Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

En-plaque sphenoid wing grade II meningioma: Case report and review of literature.

Project description:Introduction and importanceEn-plaque-meningioma (EPM) is characterized by its flat growth along the bony contour. It accounts for 2-9% of all meningiomas. Very few grade II or III EPM cases were reported. Surgical resection of sphenoid wing EPM is especially challenging as the tumour tends to invade the cavernous sinus, and/or the orbit, and their neurovascular structures. Consequently, tumours in such locations have a higher rate of recurrence. We report the clinical course and management of a patient suffering a second recurrence of grade II EPM. The clinical course of grade II EPM, and the management of multiple recurrences of EPM are scarcely reported in the literature.Case presentationA 53-year-old male with a history of three previous surgeries for EPM presented with decreased vision in the right eye. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed progression of a sphenoid wing meningioma invading the left optic nerve, indicating a second recurrence of the tumour.Clinical discussionWe reviewed the literature discussing the clinical course of grade II EPM, and cases suffering multiple recurrences. Only a few cases were found with varying clinical course and management. In our case, surgical intervention was necessary to save the patient's vision. A modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy was performed. A small residual tumour invading the cavernous sinus was left for treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery.ConclusionSphenoid wing EPM is challenging pathology to manage, especially grade II tumours which are rarely encountered. Multimodality treatment with surgery and radiotherapy offers EPM patients the best chance of treatment.

Blindness Following Endoscopic Excision of Acinic Cell Carcinoma of Sphenoid Sinus: A Case Report.

Project description:Acinic cell carcinoma (A.C.C.) is a low-grade malignancy involving salivary glands. A.C.C. accounts for only 1-4% of all sinonasal malignancies. We report the case of a 45-year-old female who presented with A.C.C. of paranasal sinus who developed loss of vision after Endoscopic sinus surgery (E.S.S.). Blindness, though rare, is a devastating complication of E.S.S. In this report, the rare occurrence of a papillary cystic variant of A.C.C. in the sphenoid sinus is reported. The causes that may lead to blindness during E.S.S. are analyzed in the absence of direct neural trauma.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-022-03190-2.

Cavernous sinus angioleiomyoma: case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Cavernous sinus angioleiomyoma (ALM) is extremely rare. Only three cases have been reported to be cavernous sinus ALM, and very few reports described characteristic findings for intracranial ALMs in detail. We report a new case of cavernous sinus ALM, with detailed information on the clinical presentation, radiology, pathology, and surgical approach. A 52-year-old woman had a 6-month history of right eye discomfort. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a right cavernous sinus tumor with heterogenous blush enhancement. Enhanced computed tomography scans and angiography showed small nodular enhancement in the tumor. Complete tumor resection was achieved via an extradural temporopolar approach. ALM was identified based on histologic examination. Intracranial ALMs are different from the ALMs that occur in the extremities based on our review of the literature. Intracranial ALMs appear more frequently in men than women. The cavernous type was the most common pathologically, and they occur often in the epiperidural location. Because cavernous sinus ALM occurs in the interdural space, an epidural approach should be selected. Therefore, it is important to include cavernous sinus ALM into a differential diagnosis of a cavernous sinus tumor. The blush enhancement and nodular enhancement within this lesion may be useful to distinguish cavernous sinus ALM from other differential diagnoses.

Abducens nerve schwannoma of the cavernous sinus: A case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundSchwannomas of the abducens nerve are a rare pathology and are encountered less within the cavernous sinus. We describe a case of sixth cranial nerve schwannoma, in the cavernous sinus.Case descriptionA 50-year-old lady, presented with 2 years history of double vision and left facial numbness that started 6 months before presentation, found to have hyperintense lobulated mass at the left cavernous sinus extending into Meckel's cave with bony remodeling on magnetic resonance imaging. She underwent left frontotemporal craniotomy, combined extra-intradural approach, gross total resection. She had a gradual recovery of the sixth cranial nerve function.ConclusionAbducens nerve schwannoma of the cavernous sinus is a rare and challenging tumor. However amenable to surgical intervention with favorable neurological outcome.

Complex anatomy of the sphenoid sinus: a radiographic study and literature review.

Project description:Objectives Nasal endoscopic approaches to the sphenoid sinus are challenging. Variations in septation, shape, and dimensions have a critical impact on surgical planning of the skull base. Previous anatomical studies have small numbers or a limited description of this complex structure. The present study is a radiographic analysis of the septation and dimensions of the sphenoid sinus. Design and Methods High-resolution surgical-guidance computed tomography images of the sinuses from 90 patients at a tertiary care medical center between 2002 and 2007 were studied. Multiple anatomical measurements from axial and sagittal images were obtained and analyzed with imaging and statistical software. Results Of the 90 patients studied, 9% had presellar, 37% sellar, and 54% postsellar pneumatization. In 34%, the posterior extent of the intersinus septum involved the bony covering of the carotid artery. The average presellar width of the sinus was 1.3 cm, the average midline presellar depth was 1.4 cm, and the average infrasellar midline depth was 2.6 cm. Conclusions Approaching the skull base through the sphenoid sinus requires a tailored process based on anatomy. Septal involvement of the carotid artery occurs frequently. Pneumatization patterns are potentially disorienting, and awareness of the sinus's posterior and lateral extensions is critical.
