Local recurrence, and regional and distant metastases, respectively, develop in 30% and 15% of patients with esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB).
This case report includes 3 patients with unusual recurrences of ENB in the sinonasal tract.
Patient 1 developed ENB in the bilateral maxillary sinuses after unilateral endoscopic resection of a left ENB followed by postoperative proton radiotherapy. Patient 2 developed ENB at the left optic-carotid recess 7 years after a craniofacial resection and postoperative radiotherapy. Patient 3 developed ENB over the left zygomatic process of the maxilla 4 years after a cranioendoscopic resection and postoperative radiation therapy for ENB of the ethmoid sinuses with intracranial extension. The possibility of venous tumor emboli must be considered as a likely etiology. However, alternative explanations include the development of a second primary or potential transformation because of tumor signaling.
We present 3 cases that may represent metastasis of ENB within the sinonasal tract.
嗅神经母细胞瘤(ENB)患者中,局部复发、区域转移和远处转移的发生率分别为30%和15%。
本病例报告包括3例鼻窦内ENB异常复发的患者。
患者1在左侧ENB单侧内镜切除并术后质子放疗后,双侧上颌窦发生ENB。患者2在颅面切除和术后放疗7年后,左侧视交叉 - 颈动脉隐窝发生ENB。患者3在筛窦ENB伴颅内扩展的颅内镜切除和术后放疗4年后,上颌骨左侧颧突发生ENB。必须考虑静脉肿瘤栓子作为可能病因的可能性。然而,其他解释包括第二原发性肿瘤的发生或肿瘤信号导致的潜在转化。
我们报告了3例可能代表ENB在鼻窦内转移的病例。
