Non-epithelial, benign extracranial neurogenic tumors of the nasal cavities are reported in the literature with extreme rarity. These tumors differ from the more common congenital gliomas, encephaloceles, etc. in that they sometimes are detached from the brain tissues. These tumors have intracranial origins. They are congenital or acquired and may involve any of the nerves inside the nose....

Seventeen cases of unilateral proptosis aged 11-54 years are presented. The proptosis was due to mucormycosis in 7, ethmoid polyposis in 4, malignancy in 4, and one each due to Ringert's tumour and fibrous dysplasia. Surgery was performed in all cases with the aim of total extirpation of disease and orbital repositioning. The surgical approaches included transverse maxillary osteotomy, transant...

introduction: solitary fibrous tumours (sfts) of the nose and paranasal sinuses are extremely rare.these were originally described as neoplasms of the pleura originating from spindle cells. it is further sub-classified as a benign type of mesothelial tumour. its occurrence in many extra pleural sites have been reported earlier, mainly in the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual glands, tongu...

A 29-year-old female with primary ectopic meningioma in the right ethmoid sinus was reported. She was treated by a right lateral rhinotomy with total removal of the tumor and the subsequent clinical course was good. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance image (MRI) was most informative to define the tumor and decide the surgical procedure, in which it was demonstrated as well circumscribed mass ...

Adenocarcinomas of various types comprise 10 to 20% of all primary malignant neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. They are thought to originate from seromucous glands of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses as well as the surface epithelium. Long-term prognosis is poor and patients usually die due to local spread with no metastasis. This clinical report describes a method for ...
