Article Abstract
Background: Determining whether to treat the elective cervical lymph node (LN) area remains a dilemma in maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study analyzed the patterns of initial LN involvement and recurrence to guide treatment strategies.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 119 patients with maxillary sinus SCC treated between 2005 and 2023. Patients received definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy, neoadjuvant therapy followed by local treatment, or upfront surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy.
Results: Among 119 patients, 28 (23.5%) had clinical LN involvement at diagnosis, primarily at ipsilateral neck levels I and II. Regional failure occurred in 18 (19.8%) cN0 and 9 (32.1%) cN+ patients, with ipsilateral level II being the most common site. Contralateral failures were frequent in cN+ patients. Distant metastases occurred in 17 patients (14.3%), predominantly in the lungs.
Conclusion: Understanding LN involvement and recurrence patterns can refine radiation field design and follow-up strategies in maxillary sinus SCC.

Purpose: To investigate the risk factors for local maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma recurrence/residual tumor after superselective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy.
Material And Methods: The protocol of superselective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy was as follows: cisplatin was administered once per week for 7 weeks, and the dose of every procedure was 100 mg/m. Radiation was administered during the same period using intensity-modulated radiation therapy, with a total dose of 70 Gy (2 Gy/35 fractions).

Introduction: The infratemporal fossa (ITF) represents a complex anatomical region of critical relevance in skull base surgery, particularly due to its involvement in the extension of neoplastic lesions. Surgical access to this region remains technically demanding. The orbitozygomatic (OZ) and transmandibular (TM) approaches offer distinct anatomical perspectives and operative corridors.

Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.

Background: Maxillary sinus lift procedures require biomaterials that combine osteogenic potential with structural stability. This study evaluates Albumin-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (Alb-PRF), a novel autologous material, as a standalone graft alternative in two-stage lateral sinus lifts, addressing limitations of rapid resorption in traditional platelet concentrates.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on nine patients (mean age: 48.

Unlabelled: Inverted papilloma (IP) is a sinonasal epithelial tumor that originates from Schneiderian membrane. A number of cellular factors associated with angiogenesis are involved in growth of IP, and causes an increased bleeding of the tumor. The main treatment is surgical removal of sinonasal papilloma.
