Article Abstract
Background: Craniofacial resection (CFR) has been regarded as the gold standard for paranasal sinus and nasal cavity (PNSNC) neoplasms. The improvement of surgical procedures has been ongoing in recent years. We analyzed the clinical curative effects of the function-preservation therapy that was mainly using nasal endoscopic surgery along with appropriate radiotherapy and chemotherapy as applicable.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of factors that influence the survival time of the 28 patients with PNSNC neoplasms who underwent nasal endoscopic surgery. All patients with tumor lesions underwent a complete resection in en bloc or piecemeal resection. Five cases did not undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy; the remaining 23 patients had multimodality therapy.
Results: The median follow-up time was 41.5 (range = 14-97) months. The overall 3-year survival rate was 78.57% for T3 cancer and 50% for those with T4. T classification (P = 0.031) and multimodality therapy (P = 0.038) were independent prognostic factors for postoperative 3-year survival rate of patients with PNSNC neoplasms.
Conclusion: Function-preservation therapy based on the minimally invasive endoscopic resection (MIER) with appropriate adjuvant therapy not only prolonged the overall survival time but also provided an opportunity to preserve organ function at the same time, which helped to improve the patients' quality of life.

A variety of pathologies and anatomical variations contribute to the underreporting of pediatric paranasal sinus disorders. The frontal sinus presents significant risk for complications due to its proximity to the orbit and brain. Three cases encountered in a tertiary hospital are discussed in this study to illustrate the usefulness of endonasal endoscopic methods in addressing pediatric frontal sinus lesions.

BACKGROUND Pediatric sinonasal tumors are rare, accounting for about 4% of all pediatric head and neck neoplasms. Due to their nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and facial pain, these tumors often present diagnostic challenges and lead to delays in managment. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to optimize clinical outcomes.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate paranasal computed tomography (CT) scans that were previously obtained as part of routine preoperative assessment in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes, focusing on the prevalence of sinonasal anatomic variations and high septal deviations in cases without nasal axis deformity. The study included 274 patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons. Preoperative CT images of the patients were evaluated in axial slices with a thickness of 0.

Introduction: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is characterized by hypophosphatemia resulting from the leakage of renal phosphate. Due to its diverse and nonspecific clinical manifestations, the diagnosis is often delayed.
Case Report: We present the rare case of a 33-year-old man with TIO who was presented with chronic bilateral hip joint pain and was initially misdiagnosed with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the orbit is rare, as this area does not have its own squamous epithelium. Tumors of this localization are caused either by the germination of the primary focus located on the skin of the face or in the paranasal sinuses, or by the spread of the tumor through perineural invasion. The difficulty of surgical treatment of this localization is that with standard access it is often impossible to visualize the posterior edge of the resection, which, in turn, can lead to a recurrence of the tumor process.
