Olfactory neuroblastoma of the nasal cavity managed with modified draf III and adjunctive radiotherapy: Case report and literature review

Schwannomas of the paranasal sinus are uncommon. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, even less in the pediatric age group. A case of schwannoma arising in maxillary sinus in a 2.5-year-old Chinese boy is reported. The basis for discussion of this case is the exceptional rarity of sinonasal schwannoma in pediatric patients.

Infection Stage

This article reports an orofacial infection caused by Drechslera hawaiiensis that normally is mortal to the patient. The case was surgically treated in Cali - Colombia in 1984 by teeth removal, and osteototomy of affected bone in the hard palate and the base of the vomer bone. Twenty years later the patient resulted infected by Dreschslera curvularia but survived both infections. A literature review (Pubmed - 2011) showed that only another case report by Drechslera hawaiiensis the patient survived. This other case was reported in the Anderson Hospital Institute in 1984. It is unknown if there is a chronic infection stage and the transmission mode of this pathogen. In patients with chronic symptoms affecting the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity it is possible to suspect this rare disease. Key words: Oral facial infection, mycotic infection, Drechslera hawaiiensis.

Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare tumor that occurs mainly in the major salivary glands. Cases occurring in the nasal cavity are rarely reported. The patient was a 48-year-old woman with a postoperative pathological diagnosis of EMC. The patient recovered well after surgery. We consulted and summarized all previous cases of nasal EMC. We also discuss the clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis of EMC of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
