AbstractObjectives:Endoscopic sinus surgery has been widely performed to treat nose and paranasal diseases. However, it is difficult to manipulate anterior wall lesions of the maxillary sinus using conventional surgical instruments. This paper presents a method of performing endoscopic surgery for anterior wall lesions of the maxillary sinus, using a 135° reflective CO2 laser.Method:A CO2 laser with a 135° reflective tip on the pipe-guide handpiece and a CO2 laser angulated to the same degree were used. The pipe-guide handpiece with reflective tip was inserted into the nasal cavity and the base of the maxillary sinus anterior wall lesion was vaporised and removed via an enlarged natural ostium. During the procedure, the maxillary antrum was visualised with a 70° endoscope. Ten cases of maxillary sinus anterior wall lesion underwent this surgical procedure.Results:In all cases, the base of the maxillary sinus anterior wall lesion was removed completely and recurrence avoided.Conclusion:This method is a reliable procedure enabling endoscopic sinus surgery for anterior wall lesions of the maxillary sinus.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare condition that can mimic potentially more dangerous states such as malignant tumors. The tumor itself can also show a local malignancy as well as malignant transformation. The paranasal sinus IMT is quite a rare case in the literature. The manifestation of the disease can include a face swelling, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, vision acuity worsening, numbness of face, pain. Etiology of this type of lesion still remains uncertain but there are a few assumptions on the issue: viral and genetic among the others, as well as posttraumatic and postinflammatory. We report the case of an adult woman with IMT detected in right maxillary sinus after endoscopic sinus surgery.

Inverted papilloma is a locally aggressive lesion most commonly oryginating from the maxillary sinus. Currently transnsal endoscopic surgery is a method of choice in majority of cases. The article presents evolution of endoscopic approaches and possibilities of miniinvasive treatment of this tumor with regard to location.
