Abstract
Objectives Head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is a rare malignancy with high mortality. This study evaluates the impact of treatment delays on overall survival in HNMM. Design/Setting/Participants A retrospective review of patients with surgically managed HNMM treated with adjuvant radiation was performed from the 2004-2016 National Cancer Database. Main Outcome Measures Durations of diagnosis-to-treatment initiation (DTI), surgery-to-radiotherapy initiation (SRT), duration of radiotherapy (RTD), surgery-to-immunotherapy initiation (SIT), diagnosis-to-treatment end (DTE), and total treatment package (TTP) were calculated. Results A total of 1,011 patients (50.7% female, 90.5% Caucasian) met inclusion criteria. Median DTI, SRT, RTD, SIT, DTE, and TTP were 30, 49, 41, 102, 119, and 87 days, respectively. Only longer DTE was associated with decreased mortality (hazard ratio, 0.720; 95% confidence interval, 0.536-0.965; p = 0.028). Conclusion DTI, SRT, RTD, SIT, and TTP do not significantly affect overall survival in patients with HNMM who undergo surgery and adjuvant radiation. Longer DTE is associated with improved survival in this population. Level of Evidence 4.

BMC Cancer 2024; 24:184. [PMID: 38326751 PMCID: PMC10851497 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-11888-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a relatively rare malignant tumour with a poor prognosis. This study was designed to identify prognostic factors and establish a nomogram model to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with SNMM. METHODS A total of 459 patients with SNMM were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database as the training cohort. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to screen for independent factors associated with patient prognosis and develop the nomogram model. In addition, external validation was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the nomogram with a cohort of 34 patients with SNMM from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. RESULTS The median OS in the cohort from the SEER database was 28 months. The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 69.8%, 40.4%, and 30.0%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that age, T stage, N stage, surgery and radiotherapy were independent variables associated with OS. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of the nomograms for predicting 1-, 3- and 5-year OS were 0.78, 0.71 and 0.71, respectively, in the training cohort. In the validation cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram for predicting 1-, 3- and 5-year OS were 0.90, 0.75 and 0.78, respectively. Patients were classified into low- and high-risk groups based on the total score of the nomogram. Patients in the low-risk group had a significantly better survival prognosis than patients in the high-risk group in both the training cohort (P < 0.0001) and the validation cohort (P = 0.0016). CONCLUSION We established and validated a novel nomogram model to predict the OS of SNMM patients stratified by age, T stage, N stage, surgery and radiotherapy. This predictive tool is of potential importance in the realms of patient counselling and clinical decision-making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

Abstract
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare and aggressive disease representing only 4% of all sinonasal malignancies and 1.4% of all melanomas. With an incidence of approximately 0.2 to 2 cases per million, the disease represents a very rare cancer type. As a result, there is a lack of data and most of the evidence for this highly aggressive disease is based on retrospective observations and analyses. The standard of care is radical tumor resection followed by an adjuvant radiotherapy. Nevertheless, the rate of local recurrence is high, up to 50%. In addition, the majority of patients (up to 70%) develop distant metastases during the course of their disease. Both contribute to the extremely poor prognosis of the disease. Mucosal melanomas (SM) and cutaneous melanomas (CM) behave differently with respect to biology, clinic presentation and prognosis. Compared to CM, survival rates are significantly lower for SM. The 5-year survival rate is around 25% in SNMM but 39-97% in cutaneous melanoma. Similar to CM, immune checkpoint inhibitors achieve promising results in SM. However, response rates are lower in SM compared to CM. The goal of this CME article is to provide an overview on biology, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of SNMM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the failure patterns in patients with different histological subtypes of sinonasal malignancies (SNMs). STUDY DESIGN Retrospectively gathered data. SETTING Academic university hospital. METHODS Patients with SNMs treated at a tertiary referral center between January 1999 and January 2019 were included. We assessed the failure patterns within different histological subtypes. RESULTS The study included 897 patients. The median follow-up time was 100 months. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) had a moderate risk of developing local recurrence (LR) and distant metastasis (DM). Compared with ACC, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC), soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and mucosal melanoma (MM) were classified as a high LR risk group. For DM, neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), STS, and MM were in the high-risk group. CONCLUSIONS ACC had intermediate local and distant failure risks, while SCC, AC, STS, and MM were at high LR risks. NEC, STS, and MM were at high DM risk.

Abstract
Mucosal melanoma remains a rare cancer with high mortality and a paucity of therapeutic options. This is due in significant part to its low incidence leading to limited patient access to expert care and downstream clinical/basic science data for research interrogation. Clinical challenges such as delayed and at times inaccurate diagnoses, and lack of consensus tumor staging have added to the suboptimal outcomes for these patients. Clinical trials, while promising, have been difficult to activate and accrue. While individual institutions and investigators have attempted to seek solutions to such problems, international, national, and local partnership may provide the keys to more efficient and innovative paths forward. Furthermore, a mucosal melanoma coalition would provide a potential network for patients and caregivers to seek expert opinion and advice. The Melanoma Research Foundation Mucosal Melanoma Meeting (December 16, 2022, New York, USA) highlighted the current clinical challenges faced by patients, providers, and scientists, identified current and future clinical trial investigations in this rare disease space, and aimed to increase national and international collaboration among the mucosal melanoma community in an effort to improve patient outcomes. The included proceedings highlight the clinical challenges of mucosal melanoma, global clinical trial experience, basic science advances in mucosal melanoma, and future directions, including the creation of shared rare tumor registries and enhanced collaborations.

Abstract
Although there is a higher incidence of melanoma among non-Hispanic White individuals, melanoma is diagnosed at more advanced stages and associated with worse survival rates among individuals with skin of color (SOC). The proportions of melanoma subtypes differ across racial groups, with acral lentiginous melanoma and mucosal melanoma representing higher proportions of melanoma diagnoses in individuals with SOC compared to White individuals. The recognition of distinct differences in anatomic locations and dermatoscopic patterns may facilitate the appropriate differentiation of physiologic from pathologic pigmentation. The first article of this continuing medical education series will focus on the epidemiology and clinical presentation of melanoma in individuals with SOC, with the aim of improving early diagnoses and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background: We describe a patient with sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) and an inverted papilloma, which existed independently in both nasal cavities. Case presentation: We describe an unusual case of a 74-year-old male patient with SNMM and an inverted papilloma. He presented with symptoms of coughing up blood and pain in the left forehead. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesion, and the SNMM and inverted papilloma were confirmed by histopathology. The patient refused further treatment after surgery, but was re-admitted 7 months later with local recurrence of the left tumor and systemic metastases. Conclusions: Nasal malignant melanoma with an inverted papilloma in the contralateral nasal cavity is rare and can easily be misdiagnosed as the same tumor by imaging. Simultaneous histopathology of bilateral nasal masses is very necessary. The recommended treatment is surgery for the inverted papilloma. An SNMM is a devastating tumor with poor outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess a large patient cohort with sinonasal malignancies focusing on regional involvement, recurrence and oncological outcome. METHODS Patients (n = 144) with malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were treated at our tertiary referral center between 2008 and 2019. A chart review on patient and tumor characteristics, treatment and long-term outcome was performed. RESULTS Most frequent histological types were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 74), adenocarcinoma (n = 24) and mucosal melanoma (n = 18). Primary therapy was surgery in 66% of patients (n = 95) of which 65.8% (n = 66) received adjuvant radiotherapy. Twenty patients (13.8%) were initially staged as cN + and in seven cases, pN + status was histopathologically confirmed. Fifty-six of 130 patients (43.1%) had a relapse after curative intended therapy, including nine loco-regional (6.9%) and seven isolated regional recurrences (5.4%). Twelve of these 16 patients with (loco-)regional recurrence had SCC. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (87.5%) and SCC (65.3%) showed the best long-term overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Regional involvement and regional recurrence are scarce. Because of rarity and heterogeneity, evidence on therapeutic management is sparse resulting in the lack of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate differences in treatment outcomes for head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) patients seen at academic versus nonacademic centers and high versus low volume facilities. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING National Cancer Database. METHODS Differences in treatment course and overall survival (OS) by facility type and volume were assessed for 2772 HNMM cases reported by the 2004 to 2017 National Cancer Database. A subgroup analysis was performed with a smaller cohort containing staging data. The analysis employed Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS A higher proportion of patients treated at academic centers within the HNMM cohort waited longer for surgery after diagnosis (p < .001), had negative surgical margins (p < .001), and were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of surgery (p = .001); these relationships remained significant when controlling for cancer stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated higher 5-year OS for patients treated at academic versus nonacademic facilities within the main cohort (32.5% ± 1.3% vs 27.3% ± 1.5%; p = .006) and within the stage-controlled subgroup (34.8% ± 2.1% vs 27.2% ± 2.6%; p = .003). Treatment at high volume versus low volume facilities was associated with improved 5-year OS for main cohort patients (33.5% ± 1.7% vs 28.8% ± 1.2%; p = .016) but not for subgroup patients (35.3% ± 2.7% vs 30.1% ± 2.1%; p = .100). Upon multivariate analysis controlling for demographic and oncologic factors, there was no significant difference in OS by facility type (main cohort: odds ratio [OR] = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.21; subgroup: OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 0.97-1.32). CONCLUSION Neither facility type nor surgical volume predicts overall survival in HNMM.

Abstract
Objective Sinonasal melanoma (SMM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with 5-year overall survival (OS) rates below 40% in published studies. However, the clinicopathological predictors of the prognosis of SMM remain undefined. We aimed to establish a model to predict the survival outcomes of SMM. Methods We searched the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for patients diagnosed with SMM between 1975 and 2016. Data on patient demographics, treatment modalities, and survival outcomes were retrieved. Risk factors for OS were evaluated by survival and Cox regression analyses. We also developed and validated a nomogram for OS, and compared its performance with that of conventional staging systems. Results Overall, 305 SMM patients were included in this population-based study. Multivariate Cox regression showed that primary site, American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, radiotherapy, and surgery were significant risk factors for survival. A nomogram was established using the regression model. The C-indices, areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis demonstrated reliable performance of the nomogram. Conclusion The nomogram predicting survival outcomes of SMM patients based on clinical information showed good discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy compared with conventional stage classifications. Our nomogram could be used to predict the survival probabilities for SMM patients at different timepoints. Level of Evidence 2b.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a lethal malignancy with poor prognosis. Treatment outcomes of SNMM are poor. Novel prognostic or progression markers are needed to help adjust therapy. METHODS: RNA-seq was used to analyze the mRNA expression of tumor tissues and normal nasal mucosa from primary SNMM patients (n= 3). Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the results of RNA-seq (n= 3), while protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC, n= 31) and western blot (n= 3). Retrospective studies were designed to determine the clinical parameters and the total survival rate, and correlation between the protein expression levels of the most significant key genes and prognosis was analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 668 genes were upregulated and 869 genes were downregulated in SNMM (fold change ⩾ 2, adjusted p value < 0.01). Both mRNA and protein expression levels of the key genes in SNMM tumor tissues were higher than those in the normal control nasal mucosal tissues. The expression rates of TYRP1, ABCB5, and MMP17 in 31 primary SNMM cases were 90.32%, 80.65%, and 64.52%, respectively. In addition, age, typical symptoms, and AJCC stage were related to overall survival rate of patients with SNMM (p< 0.05). Furthermore, the expression of ABCB5 was age-related (p= 0.002). Compared with individuals with negative ABCB5 expression, those with positive expression exhibited significantly poor overall survival (p= 0.02). CONCLUSION: The expression levels of TYRP1, ABCB5, and MMP17 were significantly upregulated in SNMM tissues, and the expression of ABCB5 was related to poor prognosis in SNMM. Thus, ABCB5 may serve as a progression marker and can predict unfavorable prognosis in patients with SNMM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis and its effect on prognosis in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program data. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors were compared between groups using log-rank test and Fisher's exact test, and prognostic factors were screened using the Cox proportional hazards model. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to examine the treatment differences after accounting for sex, age, race, T stage, N stage, and M stage. RESULTS Level I (57.1%) and level II (53.6%) nodes were the most common sites of lymph node metastasis, followed by level III (17.9%) and IV (17.9%) nodes. T stage, M stage, and tumor size were associated with LN metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rates for patients without and with LN metastasis were 35.2% and 5.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Level I and II lymph nodes may be the sentinel nodes of SNMM, Advanced T stage and increasing tumor size could promote LN metastasis. LN metastasis may promote distant metastasis and remains an important prognostic factor for patients with SNMM.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive tumor with high metastatic potential and poor outcomes. Presenting symptoms are nonspecific, and the nasal cavity is the most common site of origin followed by the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Histopathologically, SNMMs are pleomorphic and predominantly composed of epithelioid cell type. Identifying these tumors requires a high index of suspicion for melanoma and the use of a panel of immunohistochemical markers when typical histopathological features are missing. Not infrequently, these tumors are undifferentiated and/or amelanotic. Currently, SNMM falls into 2 different staging systems proposed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, one for carcinoma of the nasal cavity and sinuses and the other for head and neck melanoma. Although therapeutic standards do not exist, surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy may offer the best outcome. Lymphadenectomy including possible parotidectomy and neck dissection should be considered in patients with regional lymph node metastasis. However, the role of elective lymph node dissection is controversial. Genetic profiling has identified a number of recurrent gene mutations that may prove useful in providing targets for novel, emerging biological treatments. In this article, we provide an update on clinicopathological features, staging, molecular discoveries, and treatment options for SNMM.

Abstract
Maxillary sinus melanoma is a rare mucosal melanoma difficult to diagnose in the absence of pigmentation. Intranasal masses presenting with the features of occult malignancy and rapid progression should always be investigated in the line of melanoma irrespective of pigmentation. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination helps to confirm the diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine prognostic factors and survival patterns for different treatment modalities for nasal cavity (NC) and paranasal sinus (PS) mucosal melanoma (MM). METHODS Patients from 1973 to 2013 were analyzed using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable cox proportional hazard modeling were used for survival analyses. RESULTS Of 928 cases of mucosal melanoma (NC = 632, PS = 302), increasing age (Hazard Ratio [HR]:1.05/year, p < 0.001), T4 tumors (HR: 1.81, p = 0.02), N1 status (HR: 6.61, p < 0.001), and PS disease (HR: 1.50, p < 0.001) were associated with worse survival. Median survival length was lower for PS versus NC (16 versus 26 months, p < 0.001). Surgery and surgery + radiation therapy (RT) improved survival over non-treatment or RT alone (p < 0.001). Adding RT to surgery did not yield a survival difference compared with surgery alone (p = 0.43). Five-year survival rates for surgery and surgery + RT were similar, at 27.7% and 25.1% (p = 0.43). CONCLUSION Surgery increased survival significantly over RT alone. RT following surgical resection did not improve survival.

Abstract
The outcomes of hepatectomy alone for liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma are insufficient, and the outcomes of systemic therapy alone are also insufficient, even since the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). We report the cases of three patients, in whom liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma was treated with hepatectomy combined with ICI therapy, which was administered in various settings. One patient received ICI treatment for recurrent melanoma and survived 107 months after the first hepatectomy, one patient received both preoperative and adjuvant ICI treatment and has been disease-free for 27 months, and another patient received postoperative ICI treatment after reduction hepatectomy and has been alive with disease for 47 months. Since long-term survival is possible, hepatectomy combined with ICI therapy should be considered for the treatment of liver metastasis derived from non-cutaneous melanoma.

Abstract
Purpose Sinonasal malignancies (SNM) represent a rare and complex group of cancers that includes a wide range of histopathological subtypes. Data from population-based cohorts are scarce but warranted as a basis for randomized controlled treatment trials (RCTs). Our aim was to assess overall and histology subset-specific outcomes for SNM patients treated at a tertiary referral centre. Methods A retrospective, population-based, consecutive cohort of patients with SNMs diagnosed from 2001 through 2019 was examined. Outcome was analysed in relation to age, gender, site, stage, histopathology, and treatment. Results Two-hundred and twenty-six patients were identified, whereof 61% presented with stage IV disease. 80% completed treatment with curative intent, which comprised surgery with neoadjuvant (29%) or adjuvant (37%) radiotherapy, monotherapy with surgery (22%), definitive chemoradiotherapy (7%), or radiotherapy (5%). Median follow-up was 106 months. The 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 57% and 35%, respectively. Median overall survival was 76 months (esthesioneuroblastoma: 147 months; adenocarcinoma: 117; salivary carcinoma: 88; mucosal melanoma: 69; squamous cell carcinoma: 51, undifferentiated carcinoma: 42; neuroendocrine carcinoma: 9; and NUT-carcinoma 5). The 5- and 10-year disease-free survival rates were 63% and 54%, respectively, and disease-specific survival 83% and 66%. Increasing age, stage IVB, melanoma histopathology, and treatment with definitive chemoradiotherapy emerged as significant independent prognostic risk factors for disease-specific mortality (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion The results indicate a seemingly good outcome in comparison to previous reports, particularly for mucosal melanoma, adenocarcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma. The study provides additional background for future RCTs focusing on histology subset-specific treatment for SNM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To identify prognosticators and determine the efficacies of surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy (SR) and surgery with immunotherapy (SI) of head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database study. METHODS The 2004 to 2017 National Cancer Database was queried for HNMM patients. Cox proportional hazards and Kaplan-Meier analyses evaluated prognosticators of mortality and survival benefits conferred by SR, SI, or surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy and immunotherapy (SRI). Logistic regression identified predictors of adjuvant radiotherapy or immunotherapy use. RESULTS Overall, 1,910 cases (845 surgery, 802 SR, 51 SI, 101 SRI) were analyzed, with 50.3% females and an average age of 68.6 ± 13.8 years. SI was associated with greater overall survival (OS) than surgery (hazard ratio [HR] 0.672; P = .036). SI (HR 0.425; P = .024) and SRI (HR 0.594; P = .045) were associated with superior OS than SR. Older age (HR 1.607; P < .001), female sex (HR 0.757; P = .006), paranasal sinus localization (HR 1.648; P < .001), T4 classification (HR 1.443; P < .001), N1 classification (HR 2.310; P < .001), M1 classification (HR 3.357; P < .001), and positive surgical margins (HR 1.454; P < .001) were survival prognosticators. Adjuvant radiotherapy use was negatively correlated with older age, oral cavity localization, and M0 or T3 tumors (all P < .05). Adjuvant immunotherapy use was positively correlated with younger age and M1 tumors (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Although SR did not confer survival benefits in HNMM patients, SI and SRI yielded greater OS than surgery alone. SRI was associated with superior survival outcomes than SR. Certain demographic and clinical factors were associated with increased mortality risk. Patient age and certain tumor characteristics were predictors of adjuvant radiotherapy or immunotherapy use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive cancer usually managed with surgical resection. This study evaluates the impact of treatment modality and positive surgical margin (PSM) on survival following resection of SNMM. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of a national cancer registry. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for cases of SNMM from 2010 to 2015. Data regarding patient demographics, tumor staging, and treatment modality were obtained. Survival rates were compared by margin status: PSM, negative (NSM), and no operation (0SM) using Kaplan-Meier analysis and log rank test. RESULTS A total of 446 patients met inclusion criteria. Most cases were elderly (>66 years-old) (67.3%), female (54.3%), and white (89.5%). Cases of SNMM most commonly involved the nasal cavity (81.6%), were Stage 3 (60.0%), and underwent surgical resection at an academic center (65.0%). NSM and PSM were present in 59.0% and 26.9% of cases, respectively, while 14.1% of cases did not undergo surgical resection (0SM). Factors predictive of PSM included resection at a community hospital (OR 2.47) and Stage 4 disease (OR 2.07). The 2-year survival rates were 72.1% (95% CI 69.4-75.4%), 36.3% (95% CI 22.0-48.9), and 16.0% (95% CI 8.2-25.4%) for NSM, PSM and 0SM, respectively. Survival was statistically significant between NSM and PSM (Log rank <0.001) but not between 0SM and PSM (Log rank = 0.062). CONCLUSION Our study emphasizes the need for NSM for SNMM as PSM did not demonstrate any significant improvement in survival when compared to 0SM. Our findings suggest that cases of SNMM are best managed at academic centers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
Melanoma of the lacrimal drainage system (LDSM) is a rare and subtle condition that is frequently misdiagnosed. In the present work, we conducted a systematic review investigating the clinical features, management, and prognosis of LDSM. A structured search, according to PRISMA criteria, was performed in April 2020 and updated in February 2021 on Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and SCOPUS. The articles found underwent a double-reviewer selection and the main data were extracted. After complete screening, 30 articles reporting 38 cases were included. The time from the first symptom to medical contact ranged from 1 month to 4 years. Surgery was the treatment proposed to all patients, with a variable extension of resection. LDSM is a rare disease that is burdened by poor prognosis. Early diagnosis is crucial, even if difficult to achieve. Surgery and radiotherapy are standardized treatments, while targeted therapy and immunotherapy are attractive prospects.

Sinonasal mucosal melanoma: treatment strategies and survival rates for a rare disease entity : A single center experience and review of literature. Wien Klin Wochenschr 2021; 133:1137-1147. [PMID: 33844113 PMCID: PMC8599389 DOI: 10.1007/s00508-021-01847-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare disease entity comprising 0.4–1.3% of all melanomas. Surgery with free margins has been the primary treatment over decades. Neither the addition of radiotherapy nor chemotherapy could significantly improve outcome rates of this devastating malignancy. This study presents our clinical experience with SNMM over a 19-year period and summarizes the current body of literature on SNMM. Methods This retrospective analysis included 12 patients with SNMM treated from 2001 to 2019 at an academic center. Additionally, a literature review of the last 29 years on treatment and survival data of SNMM was conducted. Results Main initial symptoms were epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Of the patients 9 underwent endoscopic surgery, 6 received adjuvant therapy. 3 patients who did not undergo surgery, received chemoradiotherapy, radiotherapy alone, and chemotherapy alone, respectively. At the time of diagnosis 2 patients had distant metastases and 4 patients developed distant metastases during the course of the disease. Mean overall survival (OS) was 30.6 months, 3‑year and 5‑year OS were 25%, and 18.2%, respectively. Conclusion Unspecific symptoms and hidden anatomic locations lead to delayed diagnosis and increased rates of metastatic dissemination. Distant metastasis is the main treatment failure in SNMM. Surgery with free margins remains the primary treatment for SNMM. Adjuvant radiotherapy might improve local control in individual cases but efficient systemic therapy is needed to improve outcome rates. To evaluate and define more effective targeted treatment options and improve outcome rates, homogeneous data and prospective multicentric analysis are needed.

Abstract
We report the case of a primitive nasal melanoma in an 82-year-old patient, showing how this rare malignancy, with non-specific signs and symptoms, can represent a challenging diagnosis for the physician. A 82-year-old Caucasian patient presented for unilateral nasal obstruction and occasional epistaxis. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the facial massif revealed turbinate hypertrophy and a polypoid phlogistic tissue isointense in T1 with an intermediate signal in T2 and Short-TI Inversion Recovery (STIR)-T2, occupying the middle meatus and the anterior upper and lower left meatus with partial obliteration of the ostium and the infundibulum of the maxillary sinus. The Positron emission tomography (PET) exam was negative for metastases. Conservatory surgery in the left anterior video rhinoscopy was performed, allowing a radical 4-cm tumor excision. Histology reported epithelioid cell melanoma, PanK−, CD45−, and PanMelanoma+. Adjuvant radiotherapy was suggested, even considering a complete resection as the result of surgery. No local or systemic relapse was noticed at the 2-month follow-up visit. Although mucosal melanoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy characterized by a poor prognosis, early diagnosis allows a more conservative approach, with little surgical difficulty and no aesthetic effect. Our case raises awareness of the importance of early intervention even in those cases where the clinic symptoms and diagnostic images show uncertain severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive cancer with high mortality. Identifying patients at risk of distant metastasis assists with management and prognostication. We aimed to define the relationship between volume, survival, and risk of distant metastases. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients with SNMM treated at a single institution over a 21-year period was conducted. Tumor volume was calculated using cross-sectional imaging and survival analysis was performed. RESULTS Sixty-one patients were included. Tumor volume was predictive of local progression-free survival (P = .03), distant metastases-free survival (DMFS) (P = .002), and overall survival (OS) (P = .02). It was a better predictor than AJCC stage and T-classification. Tumor volume equal to or greater than 5 cm3 was associated with a significantly worse DMFS and OS (P = .02 and .009, respectively). CONCLUSION Calculation of tumor volume assists in quantifying the risk of distant metastases and death in SNMM.

Abstract
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare tumor, comprising less than 10% of sinonasal malignancies. SNMM most frequently occurs in the nasal cavity (70%) and maxillary sinus (14%), typically as black patches. Overall, SNMM harbors a very poor prognosis; 5-year survival is less than 30%. Nasal cavity tumors confer a better prognosis than sinus melanoma. The primary management for SNMM is surgery, when feasible, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Recent studies suggest that immunotherapy may confer survival benefit to patients with advanced disease. The multidisciplinary team approach has been shown to optimize treatment, reduce costs, and minimize adverse events, while maximizing the chances for cure.

Abstract
Background: The optimal treatment modality for sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) remains controversial.Objectives: To investigate the impact of adjuvant therapy on SNMM.Material and methods: Ninety-two patients were retrospectively analyzed and were grouped into surgery alone (SA), surgery plus radiotherapy (SR), surgery plus chemotherapy (SC) and surgery plus radiochemotherapy (SRC) groups. Survival outcomes among different treatment modalities were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.Results: Twenty-nine patients (31.5%) developed local recurrence, 10 patients (10.9%) had nodal metastasis, and 41 patients (44.6%) had distant metastasis. The overall survival time (OS) for SA, SR and SRC were 16, 29 and 27 months, respectively, and the disease-free survival time (DFS) were 10, 16 and 16 months, respectively. Significant differences were found between SA and SR (OS: p = .003; DFS: p = .016) and SA and SRC (OS: p = .002; DFS: p = .008). Superior outcomes were also found in SRC group compared to that in SA group for both OS (15 vs. 27 months, p = .012) and DFS (10 vs. 20 months, p = .017) in endoscopic approach.Conclusions and significance: SNMM had poor prognosis with high rates of local recurrence and metastasis. Adjuvant therapy improved survival outcomes for SNMM.

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the available published data on sinonasal melanoma and analyse its clinical features, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors. An electronic search was undertaken in March 2018 in multiple databases. Eligibility criteria included publications with sufficient clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical information to confirm the diagnosis. Seventy-three publications (439 cases) were included. The lesion was more prevalent in females than in males. There was a higher prevalence in the seventh and eighth decades of life. The lesions mainly presented as epistaxis and commonly involved the nasal cavity. Age (>67.6 years; P=0.0012), primary location (middle turbinate; P=0.0112), disease stage (advanced disease stage; P=0.0026), treatment (radiotherapy; P=0.0111), recurrence (recurrence presented; P=0.0137), and distant metastasis (distant metastasis presented; P=0.0011) were independently associated with a lower survival rate. Recurrence was significantly correlated with age (>67.6 years; P=0.0021), sex (males tended to present a higher recurrence rate than females; P=0.0051), disease stage (stages III and IV presented a higher recurrence rate than stages I and II; P=0.0331), and histological type (amelanotic lesions presented a higher index of recurrence than melanotic lesions; P=0.0095). In conclusion, sinonasal melanoma is a neoplasm with a poor prognosis, presenting a 30.69% possibility of survival after 5 years.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man presented to ear, nose and throat department complaining of nasal congestion and recurrent epistaxis for 5 months. Nasal endoscopy revealed a pigmented polyp obstructing the right nasal cavity. MRI with contrast agent showed a right nasal cavity polypoid mass with hyper signal intensity (SI) both in non-enhanced T1-w and diffusion imaging, marked hypo SI in T2-w sequences and avidly contrast enhancement characterised by rapid wash-in without significant wash-out on dynamic perfusion imaging. Histological specimen showed epithelioid and spindle cells with focal intense pigmentations and immunohistochemical features compatible with primary melanotic sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNM). As melanotic SNM shows MRI pathognomonic high non-enhanced T1-w SI, this case underlines the crucial role of MRI not only in assessing the local tumour extension/recurrence but also in increasing the diagnostic confidence of detecting melanotic SNM. Thus, MRI should be always performed in case of clinical-endoscopic suspicion of SNM.

Abstract
The aim of this report is to present a case of a patient with a recurrent nasal cavity amelanotic melanoma (AM), with emphasis on diagnosis and therapy options of this clinical entity. A 65-year-old female patient presented with pain in the right cheek region and nasal obstruction. In 2013, she was diagnosed with mucosal melanoma (MM) of the left nasal cavity. After endoscopic surgery and radiotherapy, the patient was followed by the oncology team. Five years after the initial diagnosis, rhinoscopy showed a tumorous formation in the right nasal cavity. The tumor mass was without black discoloration and was the same color as the surrounding nasal mucosa. Microscopic examination after biopsy of the tumor confirmed amelanotic MM. The patient underwent an additional endoscopic surgery. A complete standard diagnostic workup for MM found metastases in head and neck lymph nodes, on both sides. MMs of head and neck are uncommon malignancies. Unique biology of MM cells causes a high rate of recurrences. This report presents an example of recurrent AM of the nasal cavity, in treatment with checkpoint inhibitor (pembrolizumab), which could provide a good therapy option for patients with MM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of demographic factors, tumor stage, and treatment modalities for overall survival in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for patients of all ages with SNMM between 2004 and 2015. Univariate Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association of suspected prognostic factors with overall survival. RESULTS A total of 1,874 patients with SNMM were included in the analysis. The 5-year overall survival was 24%. Prognostic factors associated with decreased survival include advanced age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.03), T4 disease (HR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.09-1.89), and presence of distant metastases (HR: 3.22. 95% CI: 2.06-5.04). Improved survival was associated with surgical resection only when margins were negative (HR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.30-0.65). In patients with metastatic disease, administration of immunotherapy (HR: 0.14; 95% CI: 0.04-0.49) was associated with improved survival. Surgical approach, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were nonsignificant predictors of survival. CONCLUSIONS This investigation is the largest to date to analyze the association of treatment modalities with overall survival in SNMM. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment in patients with SNMM. However, administration of immunotherapy may confer survival benefit to patients with metastatic disease. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 130:275-282, 2020.

Abstract
Mucosal melanoma is a rare malignant disease developed from melanocyte. We report the case of a patient with nasal cavity mucosal melanoma with a primary clinical and histological diagnosis of malignant lentigo with mucosal spreading. The presence of a c-Kit mutation, in a second lecture and the evolving nature of the lesion, reorientated the diagnosis of malignant lentigo to mucosal melanoma with skin extension. Extensive surgical resection and foramen free flap with costal graft reconstruction may have a local control of the disease. Yet, after one year, a regional evolution involving a parapharyngeal node was treated by stereotaxic radiotherapy. After 5 years, the patient was considered in clinical and radiological remission. Malignant lentigo with mucosal extension is a very rare situation, this diagnoses must be evoqued after setting mucosal melanoma diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sinonasal malignant melanoma is a relatively rare malignancy with poor prognosis, and effective treatments remain elusive. This analysis aimed to explore whether post-operative radiotherapy conferred any survival advantages in patients with this disease when compared with surgery alone. METHODS Published studies were identified by searching four electronic databases. The endpoints evaluated were: rates of overall survival, disease-free survival and local control. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies including 1392 patients were identified. The results indicated that post-operative radiotherapy led to a significantly better three-year overall survival rate (p = 0.02), and suggested a borderline significant benefit for five-year overall survival (p = 0.05), when compared with surgery alone. However, no statistical advantage was found for disease-free survival, local control or one-year overall survival. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicated that adjuvant radiotherapy prolonged survival, but showed no benefit for disease-free survival or local control.

Abstract
Introduction: Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a rare malignancy of the head and neck. Sinonasal melanomas are the most frequent, followed by oral melanomas. Observation: A 67-year-old patient with a known left sinus melanoma initially treated with immunotherapy was referred for consultation concerning mobile teeth. A pigmented lesion infiltrating the left maxillary arch in the molar area was detected. The malignancy had invaded the oral mucosa. Despite many proposed treatments (immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy), the patient showed metastatic progression, which resulted in death. Discussion: Sinus MMs are malignancies with poor prognosis because these are often diagnosed in the late stages of disease progression. As these tumors are rare, there is no treatment consensus and surgery remains the best option. Diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the oral mucosa is sometimes complicated because of various implied etiologies. Conclusion: This case report shows that sinus MMs can induce pigmentation in the oral mucosa. These are rare malignancies with poor prognosis, for which no treatment consensus exists to date.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Although there is significant study surrounding the treatment of sinonasal malignancies and cutaneous melanomas, the rarity of this tumor has largely precluded robust outcomes analyses. The authors of this review seek to provide an overview of the recent literature related to the treatment of SNMM with added context from our institutional experience with this disease. RECENT FINDINGS In the surgical management of sinonasal malignancies and SNMM specifically, resection via endoscopic endonasal technique appears to offer comparable oncologic outcomes versus an open approach. The role of adjuvant therapy continues to be debated, but there is strong evidence for improved rates of local control with radiotherapy after complete resection. In the last few years, significant developments have been made in the study of systemic therapies for cutaneous melanoma. The identification of genetic mutations common to mucosal melanoma has allowed for early trials of targeted therapies, but study is ongoing. SUMMARY Although the study of SNMM is largely limited to small retrospective case series, treatment continues to evolve. Until effective systemic therapies can be identified, endoscopic resection with adjuvant radiotherapy may offer the best disease-free survival with acceptably low morbidity.

Abstract
Objectives Radiotherapy in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) was given as alternative treatment to surgery in cases with advanced, inoperable tumors or those not eligible for surgery. We presented the outcomes for patients with SNMM treated with radiotherapy alone. Material and methods The retrospective review of 6 consecutive SNMM (nasal cavity - 4 pts. and paranasal sinus - 2 pts.) patients (3 males and 3 females at mean age 64 years) treated between 2008 and 2016 was presented. The stage of disease was: T3 (1 pt.), T4a (3 pts.), T4b (2 pts.); with N0 and M0 in all patients. All patients underwent definitive primary photon radiotherapy (IMRT) alone; dose 66-72 Gy was delivered in 22-24 fractions given in 5 fractions (3 Gy) a week. Results The complete remission was observed in all our patients but only one patient survived 5 years without disease. Five patients died due to multiple distant metastases; two of those patients developed associated local recurrence 7-8 months after radiotherapy. Conclusion SNMM has a poor prognosis due to its high metastatic potential. Based on our numerically small report and data from literature we concluded that primary radiotherapy alone assured complete remission and even 5-year disease-free survival in only a few individual patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck mucosal melanoma is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. The paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity are the most common primary tumor sites. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify independent predictors of outcome in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) and characterize the patterns of treatment failure. METHODS This study included 198 patients with SNMM who had been treated at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1 January 1991 through 31 December 2016. The survival outcomes included overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), disease-free survival (DFS), local recurrence-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival. A stepwise regression analysis was used to assess associations in the multivariate models. RESULTS The 5-year OS, DSS, and DFS rates were 38, 58, and 27%, respectively. Independent predictors of poor OS and DSS were the paranasal sinuses as the primary tumor site [hazard ratio (HR) 1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-2.66; and HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.21-3.74, respectively] and the presence of distant metastases at presentation (HR 4.53, 95% CI 2.24-7.83; and HR 3.6, 95% CI 1.12-7.1). Recurrence occurred in 96 patients (48%). The most common cause of treatment failure was distant metastasis in 69 of 198 patients (35%), followed by local [36 (18%)] and regional [22 (11%)] recurrence. CONCLUSION The most common cause of treatment failure in SNMM is distant metastasis. The tumor site and the presence of metastatic disease at presentation were the only independent predictors of survival. These data can be used to inform quality improvement efforts and the counseling of high-risk SNMM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic endonasal resection (EER) of sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SMM) is a newer surgical alternative to traditional external and/or open resection (OR). Studies on long-term outcomes are necessary to validate EER for this aggressive sinonasal malignancy. OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes of EER versus OR in SMM. METHODS A case series of patients who underwent surgical resection of SMM at a tertiary-care institution (2000-2015) was studied retrospectively. Demographics, tumor site and stage, surgical approach, surgical margin status, local control, and survival were compared between those who underwent EER and OR. RESULTS Twenty-two patients met inclusion criteria. Nine underwent EER and 13 underwent OR. The mean age in the EER and OR groups was similar, 78.7 and 72.3 years, respectively. Two-thirds of patients were women (EER, 66.7%; OR, 61.5%). The nasal cavity was the most common primary tumor site (EER, 77.8%; OR, 84.6%). The local tumor stage in both groups was similar, with the majority of cases being T4 (EER, 55.6%; OR, 61.5%; p = 0.99). Negative margins were achieved in all EERs and in 69.2% of ORs. Median follow-up was 25.0 months for the overall group (range, 1.7-172.9 months), 32.6 months (range, 3.4-58.7 months) for EER and 14.1 months (range, 1.7-172.9 months) for OR cohorts. The 5-year overall survival was statistically similar in both groups (EER, 53.3%; OR, 22.7%; p = 0.214) as was disease-free survival (EER, 55.6%; OR, 22.8%; p = 0.178). Local control, however, was significantly higher in the EER cohort (EER, 85.7%; OR, 37.6%; p = 0.026). CONCLUSION In carefully selected patients with sinonasal melanoma, endoscopic surgery with an experienced team may offer comparable survival and improved local control over open surgery. Prospective, multicentered studies with larger cohorts are needed to validate these results.

Abstract
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare oncological entity that comprises most head and neck mucosal melanomas. SNMM has distinctive genetic background, different from cutaneous melanoma. Survival outcomes among SNMM patients are poor; while there is no clear consensus on the optimal management of SNMM, the primary treatment modality is generally considered to be wide surgical excision, and radiation therapy (RT) is often used in the postoperative adjuvant setting to improve locoregional control. Systemic therapies have demonstrated little or no survival benefit, and most SNMM patients die of distant metastatic disease. Owing to the rarity of the disease, the literature describing treatment approaches for SNMM is lacking and largely limited to isolated case reports and retrospective series. Here, we describe contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to SNMM based on the most recent molecular and outcome data.

Abstract
Primary mucosal malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity is a rare disease. The authors present the patient of a pedunculated primary mucosal malignant melanoma originated from the posterior nasal septum, which was successfully removed via the endoscopic approach. Clinicians should consider the possibility that a primary mucosal malignant melanoma may originate in the nasal cavity, mimicking the other more frequently observed lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the failure patterns and prognostic factors influencing survival in patients with primary mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients were analysed retrospectively. Forty-eight, 33, 10, and 13 patients underwent surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, respectively. Failure events, including local recurrence, regional relapse, distant metastases, and death, were examined. RESULTS During follow-up (median: 59.0 months), 36 patients experienced failure after treatment, including local (n = 17), regional (n = 8), and distant organ (n = 23) metastases. The median failure times for local, regional, and distant metastases were 13.0, 14.0, and 8.0 months, respectively. The median survival times from local, regional, and distant failure to death were 10.5, 8.0, and 4.0 months, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rates of patients with and without distant organ metastases were 14.4% and 72.6%, respectively (p < .001). Multivariate analyses showed that radiotherapy increased local recurrence-free and regional relapse-free survival. Patients with stage IV tumours had reduced distant metastasis-free and overall survival compared to patients with stage I-III tumours. CONCLUSIONS Distant metastasis was mainly owing to failure. Radiotherapy and the disease stage were prognostic factors for survival.

Abstract
Objective Report two positive sentinel node biopsies for sinonasal melanoma. Design Retrospective review. Setting Academic tertiary care center. Participants Patients who underwent sentinel node biopsy for sinonasal melanoma between November 1, 2014 and November 1, 2015. Main Outcome Measures Clinical course. Results Two patients were identified. Patient 1 (83M) presented with a sinonasal melanoma anterior to the left inferior turbinate and was clinically N0 neck. Lymphoscintigraphy revealed two sentinel nodes in the ipsilateral and three in the contralateral cervical basins. The left level I sentinel node was positive for melanoma and lymphadenectomy showed no additional metastases. Patient 2 (71F) presented after incomplete resection of a sinonasal melanoma of the left posterior maxillary sinus wall and was clinically N0 neck. Lymphoscintigraphy with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) localization revealed one sentinel node in the parapharyngeal space and another in the ipsilateral cervical basin. Metastatic melanoma was found in both nodes and completion lymphadenectomy was negative for additional disease. Both patients developed distant metastasis in less than 1 year after surgical resection but responded well to adjuvant immunomodulatory chemotherapeutic agents. Conclusion Sentinel node biopsy for sinonasal melanoma can provide crucial clinical evidence of regional metastasis prior to overt clinical signs and symptoms. This intraoperative tool has the potential to improve detection of regional metastasis and improve long-term outcomes of this aggressive malignancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal mucosal melanoma is a rare disease, representing 4% of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus malignancies. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical characteristics, progression and treatment of this disease and to identify prognostic factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective review presents a cohort of 44 patients treated for a melanoma arising from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, in the ENT Head and Neck Surgery Department of the University Hospital of Nantes (France) between 1988 and 2015. RESULTS Mean age at diagnosis was 71.2 years. The main signs at diagnosis were epistaxis and unilateral nasal obstruction. 25% of patients were initially classified as T4. Surgical treatment was performed in 42 patients. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed in 19 cases and adjuvant immunotherapy in 14 cases. Mean follow-up was 50 months. Cumulative overall survival was 71.5% at 1 year and 33% at 5 years. Clinically, headache, facial pain and trigeminal V2 nerve anesthesia were significant factors for poor prognosis. Exclusively nasal involvement was a factor for better overall survival than sinus involvement. Adjuvant radiation therapy showed a non-significant trend toward improved local control. CONCLUSIONS Mucosal melanoma of the sinonasal cavities has poor prognosis due to high metastatic potential. Surgical resection followed by radiation therapy is the main treatment. There is no consensus regarding new systemic adjuvant treatments in this indication, unlike for primary cutaneous melanoma.

The Relationship between Werner Syndrome and Sinonasal Malignant Melanoma: Two Sibling Cases of Werner Syndrome with Malignant Melanoma. Case Rep Otolaryngol 2017; 2017:9361612. [PMID: 28717528 PMCID: PMC5498902 DOI: 10.1155/2017/9361612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2017] [Accepted: 05/29/2017] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Werner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by premature aging. Malignant tumors such as thyroid carcinoma and malignant melanoma occur frequently in WS patients. We describe 2 siblings with WS who suffered from sinonasal malignant melanoma (MM). Both patients initially experienced nasal obstruction and recurrent nasal bleeding and died within 2 years of the diagnosis of MM. Otolaryngologists should recognize that WS patients have a high risk for head and neck malignant disease, particularly sinonasal MM, even if they are aged below the expected age range and undergo periodic examinations. Furthermore, it is important that WS patients are aware that a prompt nasal examination is indicated if they experience continuous nasal obstruction or recurrent nasal bleeding.
