Clinicopathological Study of Nonsquamous Cell Malignancies of the Head and Neck
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a tendency among the head and neck surgeons to classify head and neck tumors as squamous and nonsquamous. The latter is a miscellaneous collection of less common, but certainly no less significant neoplasms. The rarity of these tumors is evident from the limited data available on clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study is thus an attempt to meet the need and fill the void by providing practical information regarding different pathological subtypes, their treatment and prognosis. In our study, we documented a total of 48 cases of nonsquamous cell cancers of the head and neck region including all sites like nose and paranasal sinuses, oral cavity and oropharynx, neck and larynx and documented important clinical, pathological and treatment features of these.
