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
Reconstruction after the resection of sinonasal malignancies is complex and primarily dependent on the defect size and location. While the reconstructive paradigm for sellar mass resection is well delineated, the challenges associated with reconstruction after sinonasal malignancy resection are less well described. This narrative review will address the goals of reconstruction after both endonasal endoscopic and open sinonasal malignancy resection and reconstructive options specific to these subsites. The goals of reconstruction include repairing cerebrospinal fluid leaks, restoring sinonasal function, providing a nasal airway, and optimizing the patient's quality of life. These goals are often complicated by the anatomic nuances of each involved sinus. In this review, we will discuss the methods of reconstruction specific to each sinonasal subsite and describe the factors that guide choosing the optimal reconstructive technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative frozen section histopathology (IFSH) in sinonasal and skull base surgery although widely used is not well studied. METHODS We reviewed a database of sinonasal and anterior skull base tumors, between 1973 and 2019, and identified 312 suitable operative cases. Clinicopathologic data was collected and analyzed, in addition to descriptive data for histopathological reports classified as "ambiguous," or "limited/insufficient-quality/quantity." RESULTS Overall, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for IFSH were 90.2%, 97.5%, 94.2%, 95.6%, and 95.2%, respectively. IFSH for adenocarcinoma, salivary carcinoma, and SCC all demonstrated a better clinical utility with a sensitivity of 90% or greater, while it was less than 90% for esthesioneuroblastoma, melanoma, and sarcoma. Other factors such as unclear reporting, poor quality specimens, or limited quality specimens were shown to lower diagnostic performance. Based on limitations identified, we proposed a novel IFSH reporting algorithm to improve IFSH in sinonasal and skull base surgery. CONCLUSIONS IFSH is an accurate and clinically useful technique in sinonasal and skull base surgery patients; however, limitations exist.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the utility of adjuvant radiation in patients who undergo surgical resection for the management of node-negative sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. METHODS The 2004-2016 National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) was used to extract patients with surgically resected node-negative SNAC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox-Proportional Hazards Modelling were used to analyze the impact of adjuvant radiation on overall survival (OS) following surgery. RESULTS 349 patients with SNAC underwent surgical resection. Of these patients, 154 (44.1%) received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Although there was no significant difference in race, age, or sex of those receiving RT, those receiving RT have more advanced diseases and are more likely to have positive margins. Kaplan Meier analysis showed no significant difference in 5-year OS in patient who received adjuvant RT in comparison to those who underwent surgical resection alone (65.7% vs. 72.6%, respectively; p = 0.378). In addition, when looking at only patients with positive margins, 5-year OS still did not have a significant difference (73.8% vs. 61.6%, respectively; p = 0.101). Only patients with clinical AJCC T4 showed a statistically significant survival benefit with adjuvant RT (56.9% vs. 29.9%, respectively; p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant RT does not appear to provide a significant survival benefit in patients with resected SNAC, with the exception of those with clinically AJCC T4 disease. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 133:2603-2612, 2023.

Abstract
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) and sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) are two of the most common, high-grade malignancies of the sinonasal cavity. The standard of care for resectable lesions per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines includes surgical resection with negative margins plus adjuvant radiation therapy. However, surgery for locally advanced disease with both orbital and intracranial involvement is associated with significant morbidity and poor overall survival. Over the last decade, induction chemotherapy (IC) has emerged as part of a multimodal treatment strategy to optimize locoregional disease control and minimize substantial surgical morbidity such as orbital exenteration without compromising rates of overall survival. The response to IC both guides additional therapy and helps prognosticate a patient's disease. This narrative review examines the data surrounding the management of patients with SNSCC and SNUC. The pros and cons of upfront surgical management plus adjuvant therapy will be explored, and the case for IC will be presented. The IC-specific regimens and treatment paradigms for SNSCC and SNUC will each be explored in detail. Organ preservation, treatment morbidity, and survival data will be presented, and evidence-based recommendations will be presented for the management of these patients.

Abstract
Sinonasal cancers are uncommon malignancies with a generally unfavorable prognosis, often presenting at an advanced stage. Their high rate of recurrence supports close imaging surveillance and the utilization of functional imaging techniques. Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT has very high sensitivity for the diagnosis of sinonasal malignancies and can also be used as a "metabolic biopsy" in the characterization of some of the more common subgroups of these tumors, though due to overlap in uptake, histological confirmation is still needed. For certain tumor types, radiotracers, such as 11C-choline, and radiolabeled somatostatin analogs, including 68Ga-DOTATATE/DOTATOC, have proven useful in treatment planning and surveillance. Although serial scans for posttreatment surveillance allow the detection of subclinical lesions, the optimal schedule and efficacy in terms of survival are yet to be determined. Pitfalls of 18F-FDG, such as post-surgical and post-radiotherapy crusting and inflammation, may cause false-positive hypermetabolism in the absence of relapse.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare sinonasal malignancy that arises from the olfactory epithelium. The overall incidence of lymph node metastases is 25%. However, neck disease can present in a delayed fashion. As such, management of the clinically negative neck is controversial, with some advocating for elective neck treatment and others recommending observation with salvage treatment if necessary. At this time, no prospective head-to-head comparisons of elective versus salvage treatment have been performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal malignancy (SNM) is a heterogeneous group of diseases for which induction chemotherapy (IC) may reduce tumor burden. The purpose of this study was to characterize the response to IC in SNM as a prognostic factor through its effect on survival. METHODS Retrospective cohort of patients undergoing IC for SNM between 2010 and 2019 at our quaternary referral center. RESULTS Forty-two patients with advanced SNM were included in the analysis. Patients with a favorable response to IC had higher survival rates than those who had an unfavorable response (5-year OS: 66.8% vs. 9.7%; p < 0.001; PFS: 56.8% vs. 0%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Response to IC in our patient cohort was a prognostic indicator of overall response to treatment. Further elucidation of predictors of response is needed for appropriate patient selection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the olfactory epithelium of the cribriform plate. Although survival is excellent with a reported 5-year overall survival (OS) of 82%, recurrence is frequent and occurs in 40-50% of cases. This study investigates the characteristics of ENB recurrence and the subsequent prognosis of patients with recurrence. METHODS The clinical records of all patients diagnosed as having ENB with subsequent recurrence at a tertiary hospital from 1 January 1960 to 1 January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were reported. RESULTS A total of 64 out of 143 ENB patients had recurrences. In total, 45 out of 64 recurrences met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. From these, 10 (22%) had a sinonasal recurrence, 14 (31%) had an intracranial recurrence, 15 (33%) had a regional recurrence, and 6 (13%) had a distal recurrence. The average interval from initial treatment to recurrence was 4.74 years. There were no differences in rates of recurrence with respect to age, sex, or types of surgery (endoscopic, transcranial, lateral rhinotomy, and combined). The time to recurrence was shorter for Hyams grades 3 and 4 compared to Hyams grades 1 and 2 (3.75 years vs. 5.70 years, p < 0.05). Patients with recurrence limited to the sinonasal region had a lower overall primary Kadish stage compared to recurrences beyond the sinonasal region (2.60 vs. 3.03, p < 0.05). A total of 9 (20%) out of 45 patients developed secondary recurrence. Following recurrence, the subsequent 5-year OS and PFS were 63 and 56%, respectively. The mean time to secondary recurrence after treatment of the primary recurrence was 32 months, which was significantly shorter than the time to primary recurrence (32 months vs. 57 months, p = 0.048). The mean age of the secondary recurrence group is significantly older than the primary recurrence group (59.78 years vs. 50.31 years, p = 0.02). No statistically significant differences were observed between the secondary recurrence group and the recurrence group in terms of their overall Kadish stages or Hyams grades. CONCLUSIONS Following an ENB recurrence, salvage therapy appears to be an effective therapeutic option with a subsequent 5-year OS of 63%. However, subsequent recurrences are not infrequent and may require additional therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the utilization of acellular cadaveric dermal matrix (ACDM) in patients undergoing orbital wall reconstruction after orbital preservation surgery for sinonasal malignancy. METHODS Retrospective case series of seven patients with sinonasal malignancy who had orbital reconstruction with ACDM implants from January 2012 to August 2020. Orbital preservation was performed in all patients with tumor extension up to and including periorbital. The main outcome measures were implant exposure, orbital infection, diplopia in primary gaze, enophthalmos, and eyelid malposition. RESULTS Patients ranged 37-78 years old (median: 66 years) and included 4 females and 3 males. The median follow-up time was 9 months (range 6-43 months) from the date of surgery. Squamous cell carcinoma comprised the majority of tumors with all patients needing medial wall reconstruction. Three patients received postoperative radiation therapy. No patients had any implant exposure, orbital infection, enophthalmos, or eyelid malposition. CONCLUSIONS ACDM grafts can be used safely in orbital wall reconstruction in patients with sinonasal malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal epithelial malignancies are uncommon tumours but represent a challenge to treatment given their close proximity to the orbit, brain and cranial nerves. Traditional external surgical approaches have potential for significant functional and cosmetic morbidity. An endoscopic approach provides the surgeon with good access for tumour removal and enables surveillance postoperatively. This study aimed to assess outcomes of an endoscopic approach to sinonasal epithelial malignancy and evaluate factors that may influence its utility. METHODS A case series was performed involving consecutive patients treated with endoscopic or endoscopic-assisted surgery for epithelial sinonasal malignancy. Stratification included TNM staging, histopathology, surgical approach, margin status, perineural involvement and adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. At follow-up, complications, local control, nodal status and evidence of distant metastases were recorded. Statistical analyses to identify risk factors for developing recurrence and survival differences were performed. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were assessed in this study (59.2 ± 11.4 years, 42.9% female). T stage at presentation was T1 in 11.4%, T2 in 17.1%, T3 in 22.9% and T4 in 48.6%. The 3 and 5 year disease specific survival were 91.3% (SE 5) and 71.1% (SE 10). The only factors to influence survival outcomes were perineural invasion of tumour and positive margins at the time of initial surgery. Large tumours did not limit the utility of an endoscopic approach. CONCLUSION Endoscopic approach is a safe and oncologically equitable treatment approach to external approaches in the management of epithelial sinonasal malignancy. As with external approaches, perineural invasion of malignance is a poor prognostic factor.

Abstract
Introduction Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) are increasingly utilized for intracranial pathology. As opposed to sinonasal tumors, the nasal cavity is being used as a corridor to access these intracranial tumors but is not the site of primary surgical intent. Accordingly, there has been recent interest in preserving intranasal structures not directly involved by tumor and improving postoperative sinonasal quality of life (QOL). Objectives The aim of the study is to highlight recent advances in EEA techniques focused on improving sinonasal QOL including turbinate preservation, reducing the morbidity of reconstructive techniques, and the development of alternative minimally invasive EEA corridors. Methods The method of the study involves contemporary literature review and summary of implications for clinical practice. Results Nasoseptal flap (NSF) harvest is associated with significant morbidity including septal perforation, prolonged nasal crusting, and external nasal deformities. Various grafting and local rotational flaps have demonstrated the ability to significantly limit donor site morbidity. Free mucosal grafts have re-emerged as a reliable reconstructive option for sellar defects with an excellent sinonasal morbidity profile. Middle turbinate preservation is achievable in most EEA cases and has not been shown to cause postoperative obstructive sinusitis. Recently developed minimally invasive EEA techniques such as the superior ethmoidal approach have been described to better preserve intranasal structures while allowing intracranial access to resect skull base tumors and have shown promising sinonasal QOL results. Conclusion This contemporary review discusses balancing effective skull base reconstructive techniques with associated morbidity, the role of turbinate preservation in EEA, and the development of unique EEA techniques that allow for increased nasal structure preservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the effect of p16 status on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) undergoing treatment with curative intent; and to assess how p16 status may affect patterns of recurrence. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary medical center. METHODS Patients with sinonasal SCC treated with curative intent from 2012 to 2018 were identified. Independent variable of interest was p16 status, which was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a 70% staining cutoff for positivity. Kaplan Meier survival curve was plotted to assess correlation between p16 status and DFS and OS. Association between recurrence patterns and p16 status was conducted using chi square and fisher's exact tests. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis was conducted to assess association between independent variables and DFS. RESULTS Fifty patients with sinonasal SCC met inclusion criteria. Patients were p16 positive in 28/50 (56%) of cases. Kaplan Meier survival curve revealed no statistically significant association between p16 status and DFS or OS survival (P = .780, P = .474). There was no difference in recurrence patterns in patients with p16 positive versus negative tumors. CONCLUSION p16 status did not have prognostic value on DFS and OS in our cohort of patients with sinonasal SCC undergoing treatment with curative intent. There was no difference in recurrence patterns between the 2 populations. Based on the results of this study, p16 status should not impact counseling of patients as it relates to their prognosis from SNM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the olfactory epithelium of the cribriform plate. The goal of this study was to update our oncologic outcomes for this disease and explore prognostic factors associated with survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with ENB treated at a single tertiary care institution from January 1, 1960, to January 1, 2020. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were reported. RESULTS Among 143 included patients, the 5-year OS was 82.3% and the 5-year PFS was 51.6%; 5-year OS and PFS have improved in the modern era (2005-present). Delayed regional nodal metastasis was the most common site of recurrence in 22% of patients (median, 57 months). On univariate analysis, modified Kadish staging (mKadish) had a negative effect on OS, PFS, and DMFS (p < 0.05). Higher Hyams grade had a negative effect on PFS and DMFS (p < 0.05). Positive margin status had a negative effect on PFS (p < 0.05). Orbital invasion demonstrated worsening OS (hazard ratio, 3.1; p < 0.05). On multivariable analysis, high Hyams grade (3 or 4), high mKadish stage (C+D), and increasing age were independent negative prognostic factors for OS (p < 0.05). High Hyams grade (3+4), high mKadish stage (C+D), age, and positive margin status were independent negative prognostic factors for PFS (p < 0.05). High Hyams grade (3+4) was an independent negative prognostic factor for DMFS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with low Hyams grade and mKadish stage have favorable 5-year OS, PFS, and DMFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-squamous cell carcinoma sinonasal malignancies (NSCCSM) are relatively rare. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy (NTx) have been proposed to improve outcomes compared to surgery alone. In this study, we aim to examine the prevalence of NTx utilization and associated outcomes. METHODS A retrospective study utilizing the National Cancer Database, 2004 to 2015. The study population included adult patients diagnosed with primary NSCCSM. RESULTS A total of 574 patients were included. The mean age of the study population was 61.7 ± 16.5 years. The median follow-up time was 40.4 months (interquartile range: 15.3-81.3 months). The histopathological diagnoses identified included: (i) 37.0% adenocarcinoma, (ii) 22.8% adenoid cystic carcinoma, (iii) 20.0% mucosal melanoma, (iv) 11.9% esthesioneuroblastoma, and (v) 8.2% sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). NTx was utilized in 70 (12.20%) of the study population. Patients who received NTx were more likely to have SNUC or esthesioneuroblastoma (P < .01 each) and to have stage III or IV disease (P < .01 each). NTx was most likely to be administrated in a high-volume center [OR: 3.94, 95%CI: (1.47, 10.53), P = .006]. Patients who received NTx had a significantly lower prevalence of positive margin postoperatively [OR: 0.48, 95%CI: (0.26, 0.87), P = .016]. In patients with NSCCSM, negative margin was associated with improved overall survival [HR: 0.55, 95%CI: (0.36, 0.82), P = .004]. CONCLUSIONS This study provides an epidemiological perspective regarding NSCCSM and related practice patterns and survival outcomes. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is likely to decrease the risk of positive margin which ultimately could improve survival in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) is a rare tumor. The impact of health disparities on survival, stage at presentation, and utilization of surgery is not well understood in patients with SNAC. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was queried for cases of SNAC from 1973 to 2015. Cases were analyzed to assess for disparities in presentation, treatment, and survival. RESULTS SNAC was identified in 630 patients. In a multivariate model of overall survival, an age increase of 10 years (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.37, p < 0.001), male sex (HR = 1.26, p = 0.045), and more recent decade of diagnosis (HR = 0.74, p < 0.001) were significantly related to time-to-death. There is a higher rate of SNAC-related death in counties with more rural populations (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION Future interventions targeting rural and less well-educated populations may improve care with the goal of increasing the span of healthy life and reducing survival disparities related to SNAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mainstay of treatment in sinonasal malignancy (SNM) is surgery, and when combined with chemoradiation therapy, often leads to the best overall prognosis. Nasal endoscopy is essential for post-treatment surveillance along with physical exam and radiologic evaluation. The ability to directly visualize the sinus cavities after surgery may also improve early detection of tumor recurrence and is another reason to potentially advocate for surgery in these patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review of medical records of patients with pathologically proven SNM was conducted from 2005 to 2019. RESULTS The nasal cavity and maxillary sinus were the most common primary tumor sub-sites. The most common pathology was squamous cell carcinoma (42%). The median time to recurrence was 9.8 months. Recurrence was initially detected endoscopically in 34.3% patients, by imaging in 62.7% patients, and by physical exam in 3.0% patients. 67 (29%) total recurrences were detected on follow-up, of which 46 (68.7%) were local. Twenty-three of the local recurrences were identified via nasal endoscopy. Thirteen recurrences were identified via endoscopic surveillance within the surgically patent paranasal sinuses while 13 were identified within the nasal cavity; 5 patients had multiple sites of recurrence. CONCLUSION Local recurrence of SNM is the most common site for recurrent disease and nasal endoscopy identified half of these cases. 50% of these recurrences were within the paranasal sinuses and would not have been easily identified if the sinuses were not open for inspection. Thus, open sinus cavities aid in the detection of tumor recurrence and is another advantage of surgery in the management of SNM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although extranodal extension (ENE) is a known indicator of poor prognosis for head and neck malignancies, its value as an indicator for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has not been well characterized. This study seeks to assess the usefulness of ENE as a prognostic marker for sinonasal SCC. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. SETTING National Cancer Database from 2010 to 2015. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried from 2010 to 2015 for all patients with sinonasal SCC with available ENE status (n = 355). These cases were divided into those with pathologically confirmed ENE (n = 146) and those without ENE (n = 209). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine survival differences and predictors of ENE status. RESULTS Most patients with ENE were ≥60 years old (61.7%), male (61.6%), and white (83.6%). Patients aged 60 to 69 and 80+ years were more likely to have ENE than those under 60 years (P < .05). Patients with ENE had worse 1-year overall survival than those without ENE (58.2% vs 70.8%, log-rank P = .008). After multivariate regression, however, there was no survival difference detected between ENE-positive and ENE-negative cases (hazard ratio, 1.14 [0.775-1.672], P = .508). CONCLUSION ENE status did not have a significant effect on survival in patients with sinonasal SCC. Thus, ENE alone may not necessarily be a helpful indicator for sinonasal SCC prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe multidimensional quality of life (QOL) outcomes in patients with sinonasal malignancies (SNM). To elucidate factors predicting worse QOL in this population. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review at tertiary institution. METHODS A retrospective chart review on patients treated for SNM from 2006 to 2019 at a tertiary medical center was conducted. QOL outcomes were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - Nasopharynx (FACT-NP) score. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess factors predicting worse QOL. RESULTS Eighty-one patients met inclusion criteria. Twelve (14.8%) patients had a subscale score >11 for anxiety (HADS-A) or depression (HADS-D) indicating significant anxiety or depression, at a median of 24 (8-68.5) months post treatment. The median FACT-NP total score was 136 (110-152). On multivariable analysis, advanced T classification, single status, and worse social support survey score were significant predictors of worse HADS score. Worse social support survey score was a significant predictor of worse total FACT-NP score. CONCLUSION After adjusting for confounders, at a median of 24 months after completion of definitive therapy for SNM, advanced T classification and single relationship status were found to be significant predictors of anxiety and depression (based on HADS). A worse social support survey score was associated with worse anxiety, depression, and QOL (based on HADS and FACT-NP). Identifying these factors early may help to guide treatment and psychiatric referral to at-risk individuals after the treatment of SNM. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 131:E2212-E2221, 2021.

Abstract
Sinonasal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that can arise in the sinonasal region. These tumors are associated with high morbidity and mortality, are difficult to diagnose, and are hard to treat. We describe 2 cases of this poorly understood malignancy and review imaging, pathology, and treatment decisions. A 41-year-old male and a 64-year-old female presented to a tertiary center in 2019 after developing nasal obstruction and were found to have sinonasal masses on imaging. Both biopsies showed strong expression of pancytokeratin with dot-like reactivity and expression of neuroendocrine markers chromogranin and synaptophysin. The findings were diagnostic of SNEC. Staging positron emission tomography/computed tomography and brain MRI were performed, and patients were discussed at a multidisciplinary tumor board. Neither had distant metastatic disease at presentation. One patient had no intracranial or orbital disease and underwent a subtotal endoscopic resection with adjuvant chemoradiation. The other patient demonstrated middle cranial fossa, dural, and orbital involvement as well as cranial nerve V palsy. This patient was treated with induction chemotherapy, followed by concurrent chemoradiation. Both patients are presently alive at 4 months follow-up, but one with persistent local disease and the other distant metastasis. Sinonasal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare and poorly understood malignancy with an aggressive clinical course. Continued careful review of pathology and study of molecular features are needed for improved understanding of SNEC, and particularly for head and neck SNEC, to establish a staging system and better formulate treatment protocols.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT), proton radiation therapy (PRT), and photon‐based intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the treatment of sinonasal malignancies. We identified studies through systematic review and divided them into three cohorts (CIRT group/PRT group/IMRT group). Primary outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and local control (LC). We pooled the outcomes with meta‐analysis and compared the survival difference among groups using Chi2 (χ2) test. A representative sample of 2282 patients with sinonasal malignancies (911 in the CIRT group, 599 in the PRT group, and 772 in the IMRT group) from 44 observation studies (7 CIRT, 16 PRT, and 21 IMRT) was included. The pooled 3‐year OS, LC, distant metastasis–free survival, and progression‐free survival rates were 67.0%, 72.8%, 69.4%, and 52.8%, respectively. Through cross‐group analysis, the OS was significantly higher after CIRT (75.1%, 95% CI: 67.1%‐83.2%) than PRT (66.2%, 95% CI: 57.7%‐74.6%; χ2 = 13.374, P < .0001) or IMRT (63.8%, 95% CI: 55.3%‐72.3%; χ2 = 23.814, P < .0001). LC was significantly higher after CIRT (80.2%, 95% CI: 73.9%‐86.5%) than PRT (72.9%, 95% CI: 63.7%‐82.0%; χ2 = 8.955, P = .003) or IMRT (67.8%, 95% CI: 59.4%‐76.2%; χ2 = 30.955, P < .0001). However, no significant difference between PRT and IMRT for OS and LC was observed. CIRT appeared to provide better OS and LC for patients with malignancies of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. A prospective randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm the superiority of CIRT in the treatment of sinonasal tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimal information has been reported on the effect of distant and nodal metastases at the time of diagnosis on survival in patients with sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC). METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was utilized to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). RESULTS Of the 325 patients with SNAC identified, 5-year and 10-year OS for all included patients was 64% and 58%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, the presence of distant metastases (P < .0001), maxillary and frontal sinus primary tumors (P = .0042, P = .0006), and increasing age (P = .007) were risk factors for worsened DSS. The presence of regional spread to multiple cervical nodal basins (OS RR 3.26, P = .002; DSS RR 2.51, P = .013) and a single nodal basin (DSS RR 2.19, P = .046) was associated with worsened survival compared to no regional spread. CONCLUSION Survival in SNAC was significantly worsened with increasing age, tumor site of origin, and distant metastatic disease.

Abstract
Sinonasal organizing hematomas are benign lesions often mistaken for malignancy due to their aggressive appearance on diagnostic imaging and endoscopic findings that favor advanced disease. The destructive nature of this pathology paired with the rarity of the presentation often results in diagnostic deception that may escalate intervention planning and affect discussion of prognosis with patients. Herein, we present a case of a 56-year-old male with left-sided nasal obstruction and daily epistaxis, where computed tomography imaging revealed heterogeneous opacification of the left maxillary sinus, erosion of the left inferior orbital wall and extension into the nasal cavity. Although clinical and radiographic presentations of sinonasal organizing hematomas can be managed definitively with endoscopic intervention, there is a need to increase awareness of this entity among clinicians to improve our prognostic counseling with patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal and skull base malignancies can cause significant adverse effects on functional status and survival. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to systematically review the published literature of patient-reported outcomes pertaining to treatment of sinonasal and skull base malignancy. METHODS A systematic literature search of Medline was conducted with PubMed to identify studies that assessed patient-reported outcomes in patients with sinonasal or skull base malignancy. Patient-reported outcomes studies with at least 10 patients published in English from January 2000 to April 2017 were included. Criteria from International Society for Quality of Life guidelines and criteria unique to sinonasal and skull base malignancies were used to calculate a composite score for each article. Studies with the top 33% of scores were categorized as high quality articles. RESULTS Twenty-two articles met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Three studies (14%) reported a priori hypothesis. Eleven (50%) assessed specific quality of life domains and 10 studies (45%) performed statistical analysis on these domains. Specific symptoms were assessed in up to 32% of studies. Eight studies were characterized as high quality; these studies had higher sample sizes and more often assessed patient-reported outcomes prior to treatment compared to low quality studies. CONCLUSIONS The goal of the current study was to evaluate the quality of the current patient-reported outcomes literature on sinonasal and skull base malignancies. Areas of improvement for future studies include analysis of individual domains and disease-specific symptoms, reporting a priori hypotheses, and collecting preoperative and longitudinal patient-reported outcomes data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND examine presentation and outcomes of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS A retrospective study utilizing the National Cancer Database, 2004 to 2015. The study population included adult patients diagnosed with primary sinonasal SCC. RESULTS A total of 537 patients were included. The mean age of the study population was 62.6 ± 12.7 years. The median follow-up time was 35.6 months (interquartile range: 8.6-55.9). The histological variants identified are: (i) 66.7% keratinizing SCC, (ii) 21.6% non-keratinizing SCC, (iii) 8.0% papillary SCC, and (iv) 3.7% spindle cell carcinoma. Stage at presentation was: (i) 33.3% T1-2, N0, (ii) 31.8% T3-4a, N0, (iii) 13.8% T1-4a, N+, (iv) 17.0% T4b,N0-3, (v) 4.1% M1. Human papilloma virus (HPV) status was available for 96 patients and tested positive in 24 (25.0%) patients. By histological variants, 5-year survival was lowest for spindle cell carcinoma (40.0%), and highest for papillary SCC (70.1%). HPV negative tumors had a 5-year survival of 26.4%, while HPV positive tumors had a 5-year survival of 57.1% (P = <.001). Of the 255 patients with T1-4a, N0-3, M0 who had surgery of the primary site, 31 (12.2%) patients underwent endoscopic approach. The risk of positive postsurgical margins was not significantly different comparing endoscopic to open approach (23.8% vs 24.1%, P >.99). CONCLUSIONS Sinonasal SCC could present at advanced stages in two-thirds of the population and exhibit a variety of histological subtypes. Like other sites of head and neck, HPV positive tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis. Endoscopic approach is comparable to open approach in terms of post-surgical margins.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has rapidly transformed health care delivery around the globe. Because of the heavy impact of COVID-19 spread, cancer treatments have necessarily been de-prioritized, thus exposing patients to increased risk of morbidity and mortality due to delayed care. In this scenario, cancer specialists need to assess critical oncology patients case by case to carefully balance risk vs benefit in treating tumors and preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we report early insights into how the management of patients with sinonasal and anterior skull base cancer might be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide recommendations for preoperative tests, indications for immediate care vs possible delayed treatment, and warnings relating to dural resection and intracranial dissection, given the potential neurotropism of SARS-CoV2 and practical suggestions for managing cancer care in a period of limited resources. We also postulate some thoughts on the promising role of telemedicine in multidisciplinary case discussions and posttreatment surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck cancers are among the commonest cancers in the developing world. Personal habits, such as the use of tobacco, betel nut and alcohol are strongly associated with the development of head and neck cancers at certain sites. Therefore, they are among the preventable cancers. In Bhutan, there has not yet been a study conducted on head and neck cancers. OBJECTIVE To describe baseline epidemiological and histopathological characteristics of head and neck cancers in Bhutan. METHODS This is a 7-year descriptive study of all cases of head and neck cancers presented at the Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital from 2011 to 2017. The data were collected from the hospital's medical records section, histopathology records, patient referral unit and some treatment centres in India. Prior approval was sought from the Research and Ethics Board for Health, the Ministry of Health and the hospital management. RESULTS There were a total of 515 cases of head and neck cancers from 2011 to 2017. The crude incidence rate was 10 per 100,000 and the overall age adjusted rate was 12.3 (95% CI 9.5-15.1) per 100,000 population. The prevalence during this 7-year period was 69.1 per 100,000 population. The commonest cancers are thyroid, oral cavity, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal and nasopharyngeal cancer in decreasing order. Head and neck cancers are more common in males than females in the majority of sites except thyroid, salivary gland and sinonasal malignancies. Thyroid cancers and nasopharyngeal cancers are found to affect younger age groups. Tashigang (48) followed by Paro (43) recorded the highest number of cases. Squamous cell carcinoma is the commonest histopathology type in almost all the cases, while papillary carcinoma is the commonest among thyroid cancers. Personal habits, such as smoking, chewing tobacco, betel nut and alcohol consumption, were found to be more common among patients suffering from oral cavity, laryngeal, hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cancers. CONCLUSION Head and neck cancers are the third most common cancer in Bhutan after stomach cancer and cervical cancer. Thyroid, oral cavity and hypopharynx are the top three anatomical sites for head and neck cancers in Bhutan. The current epidemiological and histopathological profile of head and neck cancers will form a baseline of information and basis for further research on head and neck cancers in Bhutan.

Abstract
Several emerging sinonasal malignancies have recently been described in the pathology literature. Although not all distinctly classified by the World Health Organization, these rare tumors present a management challenge to surgeons and oncologists. While prior studies have summarized histologic details, a clinically focused review is currently lacking in the literature. This review describes the presentation, histopathology, imaging, treatment, and prognosis of newly described or recently evolving sinonasal malignancies while highlighting the distinguishing features of these entities. It includes teratocarcinosarcoma, human papillomavirus-related multiphenotypic carcinoma, biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma, sinonasal renal cell-like adenocarcinoma, NUT-midline carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma associated with inverted papilloma, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, and INI-1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma. By describing the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these recently defined entities, this clinical review aims to help guide oncologists in the clinical management of these patients.

Abstract
Objective Surgical resection is widely accepted as a critical component for definitive treatment of sinonasal mucosal melanoma. Systemic immunotherapy, including multiple newer agents, has been used to treat metastatic or unresectable disease. In this study, we examine its efficacy in locoregional control when used in conjunction with surgical resection for primary mucosal lesions. Design Present study is a retrospective review of all patients at a tertiary academic medical center with primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma and distant metastatic disease. Results A total of four patients were identified. In all cases, patients were treated with a combination of surgical resection of the primary tumor and systemic immunotherapy. Three patients were initially treated with surgery at the primary site followed by immunotherapy for distant metastases. Response to immunotherapy at the sites of primary and metastatic disease was seen in two patients. All four patients developed progression or recurrence at the primary site following initiation of immunotherapy for which they underwent surgical resection. One patient remains in follow-up without evidence of disease 20 months after initial treatment; three succumbed to the disease at 135, 37, and 16 months after initial treatment. Conclusion Surgical resection for local control plays a critically important role in the treatment of sinonasal mucosal melanoma regardless of the presence of metastases and whether immunotherapy will be given. This case series suggests that, though immunotherapy may demonstrate efficacy in managing distant disease, surgery should remain the first-line treatment for the primary site.

Abstract
Objectives Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSS) is a new, rare tumor characterized by concomitant neural and myogenic differentiation. The aim of this study is to describe the imaging characteristics and clinical outcomes of this neoplasm. Methods A retrospective review of BSS patients surgically treated within a tertiary academic health care system was performed. Imaging characteristics and clinical outcomes were reviewed. Results Five patients underwent surgical resection of BSS tumors. Negative surgical margins were achieved in four (80%) patients. There were no deaths but two (40%) patients developed local recurrences during the postoperative follow‐up period (median follow‐up 31.4 months). Review of imaging characteristics revealed a median tumor size of 3.8 cm in greatest dimension. All tumors were unilateral and centered within the nasoethmoidal region. In all cases, the tumors extended to the nasal septum, lamina papyracea, and anterior skull base with variable degrees of erosion through these structures. On CT, involved bony structures demonstrated mixed lytic and sclerotic pattern, with definitive hyperostotic bone identified in four (80%) cases. On MRI, tumors were isointense‐to‐mixed iso/hypointense on both T1‐ and T2‐weighted sequences with one tumor demonstrating mixed T2 hyperintensity. All cases demonstrated gadolinium contrast enhancement. Conclusions BSS is a locally aggressive tumor with a low risk of regional or distant metastases but has a significant rate of recurrence even with adequate resection. Despite its rarity, BSS should be considered in the differential diagnosis when imaging demonstrates a unilateral nasoethmoidal mass that is predominantly isointense to cerebral gray matter on T2‐weighted MRI and is hyperostotic on CT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is the most common malignancy of the paranasal sinuses. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, yet positive surgical margins (PSM) are common and the prognostic impact on overall survival (OS) is mixed. Given the heterogeneity of impact of PSM on OS within the literature, we hypothesized that extent of tumor extirpation (microscopic PSM vs macroscopic PSM) may play a role in OS. METHODS Patients with SNSCC were identified in the National Cancer Database (NCDB, n = 7808). Of these, 4543 patients underwent surgery, 3265 patients underwent nonsurgical therapy. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare OS between negative surgical margin (NSM), micro-PSM, and macro-PSM cohorts vs patients undergoing primary nonsurgical therapy in a propensity-score-matched analysis. Multivariable analysis of factors associated with macro-PSM was also performed. RESULTS One thousand thirty-three (22.0%) of the surgery patients had PSM, and approximately half (n = 521, 50.6%) of these had macro-PSM. When compared with nonsurgical treatment, propensity-score-matched results demonstrated improved OS in patients with NSM and micro-PSM (p < 0.001), but macro-PSM patients did not demonstrate improvement (p = 0.20). Tumor within the paranasal sinuses and advanced nodal classification (N2/N3) (odds ratio [OR], 1.18; p = 0.02; and OR, 15.09; p = 005, respectively) was associated with increased odds of macro-PSM on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that the degree of tumor extirpation correlates with OS. Macro-PSM did not confer a benefit to OS when compared with nonsurgical therapy, and factors including tumor location and advanced nodal status affect whether surgery will result in macro-PSM. Given these findings, informed, shared decisionmaking between patient and surgeon regarding nonsurgical alternatives should occur before electing to proceed with surgery in SNSCC.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic resection (ER) for uncommon sinonasal malignancies (SNMs) has been reported to confer superior surgical outcomes compared to open resection (OR) based on indirect comparisons of limited evidence. Objective The aim of this study was to pool all direct comparative studies in the literature to validate this potential superior association. Methods Systematic searches of 7 electronic databases from their inception to April 2019 were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. There were 1001 articles identified for screening. Outcomes of interest were pooled as risk ratios (RRs) and mean difference (MD) and analyzed using a random-effects model. Results There were 10 studies included in this meta-analysis, with 900 SNM patients in total where ER and OR were utilized in 399 (44%) and 501 (56%) cases, respectively. Compared to OR, random-effects (RE) modeling indicated ER resulted in statistically comparable complications (RR = 0.68; P-effect = .12) and recurrence (RR = 0.84; P-effect = .35). ER was associated with significantly shorter length of stay (LOS) compared to OR (MD = −2.9 days; P-effect <.01). Conclusions The use of ER to manage SNM was associated with significantly favorable reduction in LOS compared to OR. However, with respect to other surgical outcomes and recurrence, the current literature does not indicate either ER or OR as statistically superior. Therefore, until greater validation of these associations can be proven, expectations that ER for SNMs confers superior surgical outcomes compared to OR should be tempered.

Abstract
Extranasal cancers that metastasize to the sinonasal cavity are very rare. To date, there are only limited reports regarding this rare condition within the literature. Therefore, we retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with metastatic cancer of the sinonasal tract from 2003 to 2018 at a tertiary academic medical center. Patient demographic data, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and outcomes were investigated. There were a total of 17 patients (9 males and 8 females) included in the analysis. The mean age was 56.8 years (range 27–80). The most common primary malignancies were hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 3) and gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinoma (n = 3). The most common site of metastasis was the nasal cavity (n = 8). Five patients received radical tumor resection and the others underwent radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or combined chemoradiotherapy. The 2-year survival was 28%. In summary, metastasis to the sinonasal cavity remains extremely rare. A high degree of suspicion regarding the possibility of metastatic spread to the sinonasal region is necessary for patients with a previous history of malignancy who present with new sinonasal symptoms. The treatment strategy of sinonasal metastatic cancer is usually palliative therapy and the prognosis remains poor. However, early detection and diagnosis, coupled with aggressive treatment, may improve patient quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal cancers frequently involve the orbit with resulting controversies on whether to remove or preserve the orbital contents. METHODS Retrospective review of patients with primary sinonasal cancer involving the orbit, treated according to a multidisciplinary protocol tailored to tumor histology and extent of orbital invasion in two tertiary care referral centers over a 20-year period. RESULTS The oncological and functional outcomes of 163 patients were analyzed. The degree of orbital involvement significantly affected both overall (P < .0001) and disease-free (P < .0001) survival. Orbital apex invasion was an independent negative prognostic factor (5-year overall survival, 14.6% ± 7.5%), with dismal prognosis regardless of the treatment adopted. An appropriate use of induction chemotherapy and endoscopic-assisted surgery allowed for orbital preservation in 76.6% of cases; 96% of patients treated using an orbit-sparing approach maintained a functional eye after treatment. CONCLUSION The multimodal treatment algorithm herein proposed was able to maximize orbital preservation rates with acceptable oncological and functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of the first posttreatment whole body integrated positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning in patients with sinonasal/skull base malignancies is undetermined. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients that underwent surgery for sinonasal/skull base malignancies in 2000-2015. The results of the pretreatment and posttreatment PET/CT findings and the clinical course were retrieved. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients (average age 60.6 years, 20 males) were included. Sensitivity and specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the first PET/CT scan for predicting persistent/recurrent disease were 85.7%, 87.5%, 80%, and 91.3%, respectively. Overall 5-year survival was significantly lower in the first posttreatment PET/CT-positive group (35%) compared to the PET/CT-negative group (93%) (P = .0008). CONCLUSION Posttreatment PET/CT findings are highly prognostic in patients with sinonasal/skull base malignancies. Negative findings on the first posttreatment PET/CT scan predict a significantly better overall survival.

Abstract
Background Sinonasal melanoma is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. The surgical management paradigm has significantly changed over the past decade with the introduction of expanded endonasal techniques. There have also been advances in management of metastatic and locally advanced disease with the advent of immunotherapy. Methods Single-institution retrospective review of adult patients with sinonasal melanoma, surgically managed at the University of Michigan over a 9-year period. Thirty-one patients met inclusion criteria. All patients were retrospectively staged according to the 7th Edition AJCC staging system for mucosal melanoma. Parameters that may affect survival were analyzed using Cox's proportional hazard models and survival outcomes were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Additionally, a review of three patients with distant metastatic disease receiving immunotherapy is presented. Results Most patients were managed endoscopically (67%), and had stage III disease (71%). However, 57% of stage IVB tumors were successfully managed endoscopically. Stage statistically impacted overall survival whereas distant control was impacted by stage, site of origin, mitotic rate, and necrosis. The 2-year overall survival for all stages was 77% which declined with advanced disease. Two-year locoregional control and distant control showed similar trends. Conclusion Treatment of sinonasal melanoma has drastically changed over the past decade with increased use of expanded endonasal techniques. Our review revealed excellent 2-year overall survival in stage III disease with an appreciable decline in survival in more advanced disease. Immunotherapy may play a large role is future management given the high-risk of distant metastasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and survival of sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) by subsite and histologic subtype. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. METHODS Using the SEER database, we performed a retrospective analysis, identified cases of SNAC diagnosed between 1973 and 2013 and analyzed demographic, histopathology, clinicopathology, and determinants of disease specific survival (DSS). RESULTS A total of 746 patients with SNAC were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 64 years. Overall incidence was 0.44 per million, and was higher among blacks (O.R.:1.10-2.07:1) and males (O.R.:1.38-2.06:1). Nasal cavity (41.5%) was the most common site, followed by maxillary (26.5%), and ethmoid (17.4%) sinuses. Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma was less likely than Adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (ANOS) to be found in the maxillary sinus (8.8% vs. 30.6%, p < .05). Surgery alone (48.56%) was the most common treatment modality, followed by surgery and radiotherapy (RT) (32.5%), and RT alone (11.6%). DSS at 5, 10, and 20 years were 63.8%, 57.6%, and 47.0%, respectively. DSS was higher for nasal cavity SNAC, lower grade, lower stage, and those receiving surgery only. CONCLUSIONS SNAC is more common among men and blacks. Incidence has not changed significantly in the past 40 years. Survival varies with grade, stage, histology, subsite, and treatment.

Abstract
Objectives Evaluation of the changing trends in esthesioneuroblastoma in an Irish context and review of management options nationally to clarify the best current therapeutic approach by comparing with international research on this uncommon malignancy. Design Retrospective review. Setting Tertiary referral center. Participants All patients presenting with esthesioneuroblastoma in Beaumont hospital or on the National Cancer Registry of Ireland between 1994 and 2013. Main Outcome Measures Recurrence-free and overall survival. Results During the study period, 32 cases of esthesioneuroblastoma were diagnosed (0.4 per million per year). Average age at diagnosis was 57 years; however, two cases were under 20. The majority (62.5%) were male. Patients predominantly presented with epistaxis or nasal congestion (73%), while two cases were identified incidentally on radiological investigations. Twenty-seven cases underwent primary surgical management (two post neo-adjuvant treatment) with seventeen requiring bifrontal craniotomy. Twenty-four of these received postoperative radiation therapy. Overall, 5-year survival was 65%. Kadish A/B patients exhibited 100% 5-year disease-specific survival versus 54% in Kadish C/D ( p = 0.011). Hyams grade I/II patients exhibited 75% 5-year disease-specific survival versus 63% in Hyams grade III/IV ( p = 0.005). Patients treated endoscopically exhibited 100% 5-year disease-specific survival versus 51% in those treated via an open approach ( p = 0.102). Conclusions Many controversies exist in the diagnosis and management of this condition. Despite this, results from Irish data are mostly concordant with the international literature. The rising incidence of this disease may represent improved pathological recognition. An increasing number of esthesioneuroblastoma cases are being successfully treated via endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Tumors that invade the orbit are uncommon. The majority are meningiomas arising from the sphenoid ridge (66%). Others are bone and cartilage tumors arising from the surrounding bones of the orbit, pituitary adenomas, and epithelial tumors arising from the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. Meningiomas occur more often in women, whereas epithelial tumors have a predilection for men. Meningiomas and epithelial tumors typically present in the sixth decade of life, whereas bone tumors tend to affect individuals in their third decade of life. Patients often present with a combination of ophthalmological and otorhinolaryngological symptoms, including proptosis, pain, decreased visual acuity, restrictions in motility of the eye, epistaxis, and nasal obstruction. Sarcomas and benign bone and cartilage tumors arise from surrounding structures, whereas carcinomas usually arise from the paranasal sinuses. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Depending on the aggressiveness and histology of the tumor, surgery may be combined with radiation and chemotherapy. The prognosis is generally poor, but varies depending on histology and cell origin, size of the tumor, and degree of invasion. Meningiomas and benign bone tumors have the best prognoses. Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas, small-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas, osteosarcomas, and rhabdomyosarcomas have poorer prognoses.

Abstract
Objective To compare financial and perioperative outcomes between endoscopic and open surgical approaches in the surgical management of sinonasal malignancies. Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Tertiary care hospital. Participants Patients undergoing surgical resection of a sinonasal malignancy from January 2000 to December 2014. Main Outcome Measures In-hospital costs, complications, and length of stay (LOS). Results Of 106 patients, 91 received open surgery (19 free flap and 72 non-free flap) and 15 were treated with purely endoscopic approaches. Free flaps had a significantly higher average cost, operative time, and LOS compared to both non-free flap ( p < 0.001, < 0.001, and < 0.01) and endoscopic ( p = 0.01, 0.04, and < 0.01) groups. There were no significant differences in average costs between endoscopic and non-free flap groups ($19,157 vs. $14,806, p = 0.20) or LOS (5.7 vs. 6.4 days, p = 0.72). Compared with the non-free flap group, the endoscopic group had a longer average operative time (8.3 vs. 5.5 hours, p < 0.01) and higher rates of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak (13 vs. 0%, p = 0.01) and intensive care unit (ICU) admission (80 vs. 36%, p < 0.01). Surgical approach (open vs. endoscopic) was not a significant predictor of any financial or perioperative outcome on multivariable analysis. Conclusion Hospital costs are comparable between endoscopic and open approaches when no free tissue reconstruction is required. Longer operative times, higher CSF leak rates, and our institutional protocol necessitating ICU admission for endoscopic cases may account for the failure to demonstrate cost savings with endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Introduction Advanced Kadish stage esthesioneuroblastoma requires more extensive resections and aggressive adjuvant therapy to obtain adequate disease-free control, which can lead to higher complication rates. We describe the case of a patient with Kadish D esthesioneuroblastoma who underwent multiple surgeries for infectious, neurologic, and wound complications, highlighting potential preventative and salvage techniques. Case Presentation A 61-year-old man who presented with a large left-sided esthesioneuroblastoma, extending into the orbit, frontal lobe, and parapharyngeal nodes. He underwent margin-free endoscopic-assisted craniofacial resection with adjuvant craniofacial and cervical radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy. He then returned with breakdown of his skull base reconstruction and subsequent frontal infections and ultimately received 10 surgical procedures with surgeries for infection-related issues including craniectomy and abscess evacuation. He also had surgeries for skull base reconstruction and CSF leak, repaired with vascularized and free autologous grafts and flaps, synthetic tissues, and CSF diversion. Discussion Extensive, high Kadish stage tumors necessitate radical surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, which can lead to complications. Ultimately, there are several options available to surgeons, and although precautions should be taken whenever possible, risk of wound breakdown, leak, or infection should not preclude radical surgical resection and aggressive adjuvant therapies in the treatment of esthesioneuroblastoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal malignancies are a rare and heterogeneous group of tumors for which there is a paucity of robust data with which to guide management decisions. The authors used the National Cancer Data Base to better understand the presenting characteristics of these tumors and to compare outcomes by treatment modality. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base was queried for sinonasal malignancies diagnosed between 2004 and 2012. Overall survival was assessed using multivariate analyses and propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 11,160 patients were identified for the initial analysis. The majority were male, aged 40 to 69 years, with tumors of the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus. Squamous cell histology was most common. The majority of patients presented with advanced tumor stage but without locoregional lymph node or distant metastases. Treatment modalities were compared for squamous cell carcinomas. In multivariate analysis, compared with surgery alone, patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy (hazard ratio [HR], 0.658 [P<.001]), adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (HR, 0.696 [P = .002]), or neoadjuvant therapy (HR, 0.656 [P = .007]) had improved overall survival. Patients who received radiotherapy alone (HR, 1.294 [P = .001]) or chemotherapy alone (HR, 1.834 [P<.001]) had worse outcomes. These findings were validated in propensity score matching. It is important to note that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy was associated with achieving a negative surgical margin (odds ratio, 2.641 [P = .045]). CONCLUSIONS Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for patients with sinonasal malignancies, but multimodality therapy is associated with improved overall survival.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the incidence and degree of contralateral sinus disease following treatment of sinonasal malignancy (SNM) using radiological findings as an outcome measure. Study Design Retrospective case series. Setting Tertiary referral academic center. Participants Patients with SNM treated with surgical and adjuvant radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy. Main Outcome Measures Pre- and posttreatment computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans, Lund-Mackay (LM) score, date of diagnosis, chemotherapy, and dosage of radiation therapy (RT). Results There was a significant difference between pre- and posttreatment LM scores ( p < 0.001) of the contralateral paranasal sinuses. There was no statistical significance between the change in pre- and posttreatment LM scores and patient age, gender, chemotherapy, RT dosage, and time lapse between diagnosis and when we performed this study in the univariate and the multivariable analyses. Conclusions Following treatment of SNM with surgical resection and RT, there was a significant increase in incidence and degree of mucosal thickening of the contralateral sinus by LM grading that persisted after the completion of treatment. This indicates the need for long-term follow-up to monitor for chronic rhinosinusitis as a delayed complication following treatment of SNM.

Abstract
CONCLUSION The sensitivity and specificity of a 18FDG-PET scan may be different according to the histology. The SUVmax and SUV ratio may reflect the tumor's aggressive behavior. OBJECTIVES To describe the characteristics of PET/CT scans, including the maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax), at initial diagnosis according to six main types of sinonasal malignancies: sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC), sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), sinonasal malignant melanoma (SMM), olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), and sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC). METHODS A chart review of 50 patients who were diagnosed and treated for six sinonasal malignancy types over a period of 6 years was conducted. Any 18F-FDG PET/CT scans for each patient were searched using the hospital's intranet. The SUVmax of the primary sinonasal site was recorded. The liver SUVs were utilized as reference SUVs. The SUV ratio was defined as the ratio of the SUVmax of the primary tumor and the SUVliver. RESULTS The most common malignancy was SNAC (32%), followed by SNUC (24%), ONB (14%), ACC (10%), SMM (10%), and SNEC (10%). The SUVmax and SUV ratio values were significantly different between tumor types (p = 0.002 and 0.012, respectively). SNUC had the highest mean SUVmax (14.2), followed by SNAC (9.9). A similar mean SUVmax was observed for SMM, ONB, and ACC (∼ 7.0). SNEC up-takes the least 18FDG among these six tumor types (mean SUVmax = 4.7).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines have identified 10 to 12 weeks posttreatment as the ideal time-point for improved diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for deep tissue sites of the head and neck. After treatment, the sinonasal skull base is predisposed to prolonged inflammation that may render this time-point inappropriate for initial posttreatment imaging surveillance for sinonasal malignancies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate temporal trends in 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 FDG) sinonasal uptake after treatment for sinonasal malignancies to better elucidate the optimal time-point for initial PET/CT posttreatment evaluation in this patient population. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all successfully treated and non-locally recurrent sinonasal malignancies over a 15-year study period (2000 to 2015) was performed at our institution. Posttreatment 18 FDG PET/CT standardized uptake value data were collected and compared between various time-points (2 to 4 months, 5 to 12 months, 5 to 24 months, and 13 to 24 months) using an independent-samples t test. RESULTS A statistically significant difference was noted between the posttreatment time windows 2 to 4 and 5 to 12 months (p = 0.048) as well as 2 to 4 and 5 to 24 months (p = 0.02). A trend toward significance was seen when comparing 2 to 4 and 13 to 24 months (p = 0.083). CONCLUSION Our analysis of PET/CT in patients previously treated for sinonasal malignancy suggests that the posttreatment sinonasal skull base is characterized by a prolonged period of hypermetabolism that endures beyond the period previously described for deep tissue sites of the head and neck. These findings prompt a reevaluation of the previously described 10- to 12-week cutoff point for initial posttreatment PET/CT for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma as applied to sinonasal malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indications for preservation of orbital contents in case of malignant sinonasal tumors invading the orbit remain controversial. METHODS A retrospective consecutive review was conducted of patients in a tertiary care center over a 15-year period. RESULTS Ninety-three patients were diagnosed with a malignant tumor invading the orbit. Eighty-three were treated with curative intent of which 58 underwent surgery. Mean follow-up was 45 months. Orbital preservation was feasible in 66% of cases, whereas orbital clearance was performed in cases of locally advanced disease (invasion of extraocular muscles, ocular globe, or orbital apex). Local control rate was 70% for patients treated with orbital clearance and 74% for those with orbital preservation, with no statistical difference. Five-year survival and 5-year relapse-free survival were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION Using our strategy, the eye can be spared in more patients than what is currently proposed, without oncologic or survival disadvantages. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize our experience with the surgical management of anterior skull base malignancy, and to propose an algorithm for surgical approach to anterior skull base malignancies. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Academic cranial base center. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-seven patients who underwent resection of paranasal sinus or anterior skull base malignancy with an endoscopic, cranioendoscopic, or traditional anterior craniofacial approach. OUTCOME MEASURES Complications, recurrence, and survival. RESULTS There were 48 males and 19 females, ranging from 6 to 88 years old. There were three groups: endonasal endoscopic resection (n = 10), cranioendoscopic resection (n = 12), and traditional craniofacial resection (n = 45). The most common tumor pathologies included esthesioneuroblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma. Patients with T3/T4 disease were less likely to undergo endoscopic resection (p = 0.007). The 5-year disease-free survival was 82.1% overall, with no statistically significant differences among approaches. There were no differences in orbital complications, meningitis, or cerebrospinal fluid leak. Use of a transfacial incisions predisposed patients to surgical site infection and sinocutaneous fistulae. An algorithm for surgical approach was developed based on these results. CONCLUSION Sinonasal and skull base malignancies can be safely surgically addressed via several approaches. Surgical approach should be selected algorithmically based on preoperative clinical assessment of the tumor and known postoperative complication rates.
