Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare tumor of the major and minor salivary glands. Sinonasal EMC is extremely uncommon and hitherto not described within the frontal or ethmoid sinuses.
To present a novel sinonasal subsite and review the literature regarding sinonasal EMC.
A case of frontoethmoidal EMC was presented. A medical literature data base was queried from January 1, 1950, to August 8, 2017, for all reports of sinonasal EMC.
A 69-year-old man underwent combined open and endoscopic craniofacial resection of a right frontoethmoidal EMC, a previously undescribed primary location for this tumor. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed 13 additional cases of sinonasal EMC.
EMC is an uncommon neoplasm typically found in the major salivary glands; occurrence in the nose or paranasal sinuses is extremely rare. EMC often follows an indolent clinical course, although, in a minority of cases, particularly in large tumors with nuclear atypia, more aggressive behavior may be observed.
上皮-肌上皮癌(EMC)是一种发生于大、小唾液腺的罕见肿瘤。鼻窦EMC极为罕见,迄今为止尚未见发生于额窦或筛窦的报道。
介绍一种新的鼻窦发病部位,并对鼻窦EMC的相关文献进行综述。
报告1例额筛窦EMC病例。检索1950年1月1日至2017年8月8日的医学文献数据库,查找所有鼻窦EMC的报道。
1例69岁男性接受了开放性联合鼻内镜下颅面切除术,切除右侧额筛窦EMC,该肿瘤原发部位此前未见报道。全面的文献综述发现另外13例鼻窦EMC病例。
EMC是一种罕见肿瘤,通常发生于大唾液腺;发生于鼻或鼻窦极为罕见。EMC通常临床过程较为惰性,不过,在少数病例中,尤其是肿瘤大且有核异型性时,可能观察到更具侵袭性的行为。
