3. INTRODUCTION
They represent the area of greatest histological
diversity.
Complex anatomy , close to multiple vital structure.
Presentation is late.
Advances in endoscopic surgical approaches,
radiotherapy and imaging techniques that have
improved the clinical management
5. ETHMOID BONE
Can be viewed as a cross (perpendicular
plate, crista galli and cribriform plate) with
the two labyrinths hanging at either side
composed of a number of individual cells
The cells are divided into an anterior and
posterior group by the basal lamella of the
middle turbinate.
6. CONT…
lateral lamella of the cribriform niche offers a
route into the anterior cranial fossa as do the
anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina.
The length and depth of the cribriform niche
vary considerably.
Route into the orbit.
Anterior and posterior ethmoid vessels
7. SPHENOID BONE
Variable in size and shape.
Optic nerve and internal carotid artery
run in the lateral wall.
Opticocarotid recess is variable in
depth.
The cavernous sinus lies laterally
Foramen rotundum (V2) and pterygoid
canal
8. CONT ..
Tumours invading the medial orbit may run
subperiosteally to the apex and thence into the middle
cranial fossa.
The superior and inferior orbital fissures also offer routes
of tumour exit and entry.
The inferior fissure communicates with the pterygopalatine
fossa medially and the infratemporal fossa
10. MAXILLARY SINUS
The maxillary sinus is a bony
box bounded by eye, nose,
mouth, cheek, pterygoid
space and nasopharynx.
11. MAXILLARY SINUS
Natural areas of weakness exist into the nose via ostium and fontanelles, into the mouth via the premolar
and molar teeth roots and into the eye and cheek via the infraorbital canal and foramen.
The medial wall has a large opening, the maxillary hiatus.
Pterygomaxillary fissure, through which the maxillary artery runs. This, in turn, connects with the
pterygopalatine fossa and the infratemporal fossa.
13. LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE OF NOSE
The vessels from the anterior third of the
nasal cavity follow the vessels of the external
nose and end up in the submaxillary nodes.
Vessels from the posterior two thirds of the
nasal cavity and from the ethmoid sinuses
drain partly to the retropharyngeal nodes and
partly to the superior deep cervical nodes.
14. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Malignant tumours of the nose
and sinuses are rare constituting
approximately 3 per cent of head
and neck malignancy
Majority present in the sixth and
seventh decades
Male to female ratio is
approximately 2:1.
Most common are sino-nasal
squamous-cell carcinoma and
intestinal-type adenocarcinoma

19. INVERTED PAPILLOMAS
Inverted papilloma is a neoplasm,with 9% to 15% chance of
malignant transformation.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) type 16 and HPV-18 have been
implicated in the development of SNSCC, mainly in cases of
malignant transformation from inverted papillomas.

20. SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
The degree of differentiation varies and may be
getting poorer with time.
Most common neoplasm
Mainly in 5th and 6th decade
Most common site is maxillary antrum
Main modality of treatment is surgery and
radiotherapy.
21. ADENOCARCINOMA
These tumours usually arise in the middle meatus
and spread into the ethmoid
Adenocarcinoma is generally rather radio-resistant
but combined therapy is usually offered
The use of topical 5-fluorouracil and surgical
debulking has been advocated by some
22. ADENOID CYSTIC CARCINOMA
Spread along peri-neural lymphatics which compromises attempts
at excision.
Embolize along these routes and is known to produce blood-borne
metastases, classically to the lung.
Lymphatic spread is rare.
The natural history can be extensive, with good five year figures,
23. MALIGNANT MELANOMA
Rare mucosal neoplasm of neural crest origin usually
affecting the elderly.
Affects the nasal mucosa and presents with nasal blockage
and bleeding.
Satellite lesions and areas of amelanotic tumour can make
it difficult to determine tumour extent.
24. OLFACTORY NEUROBLASTOMA
Classically arises from olfactory epithelium in the
upper nasal vault although can originate elsewhere in
the nose.
As a neuroendocrine tumour, metabolites such as
vanilyl mandelic acid may be detected.
Treatment is endoscopic resection with chemo
radiotherapy
25. LYMPHOMA
B-cell tumours present as an infiltrating indurated mass often
affecting the external nose and soft tissues.
T/NK-cell tumours are associated with Epstein–Barr exposure and are
therefore more common in the Far East
Plasmacytoma
They produce aggressive destructive lesions of the midface,
Treatment is chemotherapy.
26. CHONDROSARCOMAS
Arises often from the septum or maxillary alveolus,
and spread superiorly into the skull base and
inferiorly into the palate.
The age range includes both young and old and
the tumour is generally more aggressive in
younger patients.
Craniofacial resection usually offers the best
treatment, tumours are not radiosensitive
35. CT SCAN
CT imaging in axial and coronal sections, preferably with contrast enhancement.
Bony details
Bone erosion by the tumour
Tumour extension into adjacent areas
36. MRI SCAN
MRI protocols generally include axial and
coronal T1-weighted, T2-weighted, STIR and T1-
weighted gadolinium-enhanced scans.
Dural and brain involvement.
MRI is considered the standard imaging
modality for postoperative surveillance.
Peri-neural tumour spread, and differentiating
tumour from secretions.

45. HISTORY OF MAXILLECTOMY
Conceptually described by Lazars in 1826
Performed in 1828 by Syme
1927-Portman and Retrouvey described a sublabial-transoral approach
In 1954, Smith described the extended maxillectomy
Fairbanks-Barbosa was the first to report an infratemporal fossa (ITF) approach
1977, Sessions and Larson coined the term "medial maxillectomy“
Endoscopic medial maxillectomy – recent addition.
46. ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia in the reversed Trendelenburg position with 15–20 degree of head elevation.
Nasal mucosal vasoconstriction is achieved by instilling 2–4mL of Moffat’s solution (10 per cent cocaine,
2 mL, 1:1000 adrenaline 2mL and 0.9 per cent sodium bicarbonate 1 mL)
In the case of craniofacial resection, patients are started on phenytoin 200 mg/day 48 hours before
surgery
A broad-spectrum antibiotic, e.g. co-amoxicillin clavulanate or a cephalosporin and metronidazole, is
generally administered with induction.

52. MIDFACIAL DEGLOVING
INDICATIONS
Selected malignant tumours affecting the nasal cavity, maxilla,
ethmoids, sphenoid, pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae.
A bilateral maxillectomy can be performed via this approach if
required.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The limits of resection are posterior wall of the sphenoid, pterygoid
plates and muscles, superiorly the skull base and laterally the
coronoid process of the mandible.
57. LATERAL RHINOTOMY
INDICATIONS
- Any malignant tumour affecting the nasal septum,
-lateral wall and extending into ethmoid, sphenoid,
-maxillary sinuses and up to the anterior skull base.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
-Malignant tumours which have spread beyond these areas
when an extended procedure is required, i.e.craniofacial,
maxillectomy.
59. MAXILLECTOMY
Indication: Malignant tumour of the maxilla involving the
inferior , superior , anterior and posterior wall.
Contraindications : skull base extension
63. TOTAL RHINECTOMY
Occasionally, extensive tumours in the nasal cavity will
involve the external nose resulting in the need to
completely excise the nose.
Common pathology - vestibule and septum and
malignant mucosal melanoma.

important predictor of
recurrence-free, disease-
specific and overall survival

65. ENDOSCOPIC APPROACH
Lower morbidity,
Better postoperative quality of life,
Faster hospitalization days
66. ENDOSCOPIC VS OPEN
On multivariate analysis,
surgical treatment
modality did not influence
prognosis. Furthermore, after
PSM, there was no difference
in 5Y-OS between the

“centripetal” tumor removal-starting at the periphery of the tumor attachment zone,
Macroscopic margin of healthy tissue,
Monobloc resection is rarely possible- complete resection of the tumor insertion zone is most important
requirement
68. ENDOSCOPIC APPROACHES
Medial maxillectomy with a frank section of the lacrimal duct
Prelacrimal approach,
Denker endoscopic approach for access to the maxillary sinus
Frontal sinus -Draf I, II, or III
Technique for septectomy – allow 4-handed surgery

73. ADJUVANT THERAPY
Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was a major advance in radiotherapy allowing for
improved targeting of the tumour while sparing the optic nerves, brainstem, and brain parenchyma.
Charged particle therapy with protons or carbon ions are an additional modality
Chemotherapy has been utilized in the neoadjuvant setting and concurrently with radiation either as
definitive therapy or in the adjuvant setting
74.
75. RECONSTRUCTION
Nasoseptal flap, turbinate flap,
Regional flaps -temporal fascia flap, pericranial flap,
Free flap-anterolateral thigh flap, forearm flap,
The most commonly used is the nasoseptal flap
76. COMBINED OPEN AND ENDOSCOPIC APPROACHES
Tumors that are located in both the
intracranial and extracranial
compartments and for which the
intracranial invasion is too important
for a purely endoscopic approach
77. NECK DISSECTION
Neck dissection in sinonasal cancers is usually recommended only if there is clinicoradiological lymph
node involvement.
