AbstractLeiomyoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is rare. It constitutes about 1 per cent of all benign tumours. This is due to the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose.In this paper, the authors present one case of vascular leiomyoma which arose in the inferior turbinate in a 64-year-old lady. It was treated by partial turbinectomy with the relief of her symptoms of nasal obstruction, epistaxis and facial pain.The English literature on the topic is reviewed.

Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

<p class="abstract">Angiosarcomas are the malignant neoplasias of vascular phenotype whose constituent tumor cells have endothelial features. They account for less than 1% of all sinonasal tract malignancies. A case of 65 year old male with a 6 months history of spontaneous epistaxis and a nasal mass lesion presented to the OPD. On physical examination, a polypoidal purplish tumor of 6 × 5 cm was identified. A NCCT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses showed a nonenhanced tumor in the left nostril in maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinus. An excisional biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated angiosarcoma. Surgical removal of the lesion was advised which was refused by the patient.</p><p class="abstract">Patient was put on the radiation therapy. Angiosarcoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare tumor. Recurrences are common due to incomplete excision or mutiflocality.</p>

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of maxillary haemangioma.Method:Case report and review of the literature concerning haemangioma arising from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.Results:Maxillary haemangioma is rare and sometimes requires wider resection than nasal haemangioma if a large tumour is found. We present a case of maxillary haemangioma in a 37-year-old Japanese woman, which was completely resected by pre-operative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that if a large maxillary haemangioma is diagnosed pre-operatively, the treatment of choice is pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery, in order to avoid the surgical complications associated with wide resection.

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fulminant fungal infection, which has the ability to cause significant morbidity and frequently mortality in the susceptible patient. Common predisposing factors include diabetes mellitus and immunosuppression. The infection begins in the nose and paranasal sinuses due to inhalation of fungal spores. The fungus invades the arteries leading to thrombosis that subsequently causes necrosis of the tissue. The infection can spread to orbital and intracranial structures either by direct invasion or through the blood vessels. Here we describe a case of mucormycosis of maxillary antrum extending to ethmoidal and frontal sinus and also causing necrosis of left maxilla in an uncontrolled diabetic individual to emphasize early diagnosis and treatment of this fatal fungal infection.
