Primary Non-Hodgkin's Malignant Lymphoma of the Sinonasal Tract
Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) of the sinonasal tract are rather uncommon entities. Morphologically and radiographically, sinonasal lymphomas are difficult to distinguish from other malignant neoplasms or nonneoplastic processes. They have a variable presentation from fulminant destructive manifestations to chronic indolent type of disease and may mimic as carcinomas and invasive fungal ...
متن کاملSinonasal schwannoma of the middle turbinate.
Paranasal schwannomas are uncommon lesions, representing less than 4% of all head and neck schwannomas. They give rise to nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and anosmia. Imaging features are generally nonspecific. Here, we present the radiologic features of a benign schwannoma of the middle turbinate with dural invasion in a 71-year-old woman.
متن کاملSinonasal mucosal malignant melanoma: report of an unusual case mimicking schwannoma.
Primary mucosal melanoma of the sinonasal tract is a rare malignancy that has a more aggressive clinical course than its cutaneous counterpart. The histology of these lesions varies, with differing degrees of melanin production and an epithelioid or spindle-cell growth pattern. Cutaneous melanocytic lesions may differentiate in accordance with their neural crest derivation and express morpholog...
متن کاملSinonasal tract mucosal melanoma.
Mucosal melanoma is a neural-crest–derived neoplasm that originates in melanocytes and demonstrates melanocytic differentiation. Exposure to formalin and ultraviolet light are known etiologic factors; another possible factor is exposure to radiation. Approximately 15 to 20% of all skin melanomas develop on the head and neck, but less than 1% of all melanomas develop in ocular or mucosal sites, ...
