Intrоduction . Sinonasal papilloma is a benign tumor. The standard treatment for sinonasal inverted (SIP) surgical intervention. tumor located primarily in the maxillary sinus (50.9 %). originated from has aggressive characteristics and can dislodge local anatomical structures, infraorbital canal particular. Aim To present descriptive characteristic of structural changes during SIP growth deter...

A 55-year-old woman presented a rare ectopic pituitary adenoma in the right cavernous sinus manifesting as acromegaly. The tumor was removed via transsphenoidal approach. Intraoperative observation showed the adenoma was located entirely within the right cavernous sinus, and separated from the normal pituitary gland by the medial wall of the cavernous sinus. There was no communication between t...

Meningiomas are well-recognized tumors of the central nervous system. Extracranial meningiomas, secondarily extended into the paranasal sinuses, are rare tumors, comprising approximately 2% of all meningiomas. Extracranial meningiomas of the paranasal sinuses may present a diagnostic and the rapeutic challenge. We present a retrospective review comprising three cases and discuss the clinical pr...

benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses that originates from histiocytes. ‎‎the main symptoms of patients are nasal obstruction and nasal mass. ‎our patient was presented with chief complaints of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea non responsive to antibiotic treatment. in computed tomography scan a giant mass in left maxillary sinus and ipsilateral nasal cavity ...

The maxillary swing approach (MSA) allows access to the retromaxillary area, pterygopalatine fossa, nasopharynx and infratemporal fossa through temporary disarticulation lateral of maxilla with attached facial skin. We report a case resection tumor occupying wide area sinus using modified MSA.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors for salvage nasopharyngectomy. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on maxillary swing nasopharyngectomy performed between 1998 and 2010. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified prognostic factors affecting actuarial local tumor control and overall survival. RESULTS The median follow-up duration w...

The formation of Casparian strips and suberin lamellae at the endodermis limits the free diffusion of nutrients and harmful substances via the apoplastic space between the soil solution and the stele in roots [1-3]. Casparian strips are ring-like lignin polymers deposited in the middle of anticlinal cell walls between endodermal cells and fill the gap between them [4-6]. Suberin lamellae are gl...

To search for differentially expressed gene products in selected cancers of endodermal origin, cDNA libraries derived from mRNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent grossly normal tissue were generated. From these parent libraries, subtracted cDNA libraries of tumor minus normal and normal minus tumor tissues were constructed. After screening these subtracted libraries by +/- hybridiz...

BACKGROUND Sphenoorbital meningiomas are surgically challenging because of their nature to extend to adjacent structures. Here, we describe a case of recurrent sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa, which was resected using combined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches. CASE DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old...
