Aggressive psammomatoid ossifying fibromas (APOFs) represent a subgroup of related fibro-osseous lesions that appears to be unique to the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and orbit. These rare lesions are characterized by distinctive histomorphologic features and a tendency to affect younger patients. Histologically they are benign, but clinically they are locally aggressive. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who had a large APOF in the left ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. The location of this tumor made this case unusual.

Introduction: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) of the sinonasal tract is a rare disease.Objective: Report a descriptive study of a relatively large cohort of SNEC of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.Method: The medical records of 21 patients presenting with nasal and paranasal SNEC to various French hospitals, from 1989 to 2003, were analysed to determine the clinical features and current treatment of the disease.Results: Patient data were obtained from eight French hospitals. Twelve of the patients were male and nine were female, with a mean age at presentation of 55 years (range: 27 to 79 years). Patients' staging for nasal cavity malignancy was: T1, four; T2, three; T3, one; T4, 13; N0, 18; N2, three; M0, 20; and M1, one. None of the patients suffered from SNEC of the sinonasal tract with ectopic hormone production. Immunohistochemistry proved useful for diagnosis in 20 cases. Twelve cases were positive for cytokeratin, 14 for chromogranin, eight for neuron-specific enolase and 11 for neuron-specific synaptophysin. One patient had an adenocarcinoma and an inverted papilloma associated with neuroendocrine carcinoma. Patients underwent surgery (11 cases), radiotherapy (14 cases) and chemotherapy (12 cases). Recurrence occurred in 10 cases. Five patients had visceral metastases or cervical lymph node involvement. Nine of the patients died within four years of onset of the disease.Conclusion: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the sinonasal tract is an uncommon neoplasm with aggressive clinical behaviour. Recurrence is frequent and the prognosis is poor. However, the current treatment of these neuroendocrine neoplasms varies widely.

✓ The clinical course, roentgenological findings, and operative management of a patient with an ossifying fibroma (benign osteoblastoma) of the anterior cranial fossae are described. The tumor invaded the orbits, the ethmoids, the upper nasal cavity, and the right maxillary antrum. The differential roentgenological diagnosis is discussed.

Fibrous Tumor

Nonepithilial tumors of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx are uncommon. Awareness of the variety of tumors to be found and their distinguishing characteristics allows for proper diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the sinonasal tract with a discussion of its differential diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.
