CONTEXT.—: Sinonasal tract malignancies are rare cancers with frequent morphologic overlap. Given the similar histologic profiles seen in many of these entities, they often present a diagnostic challenge to the practicing pathologist.
OBJECTIVE.—: To provide a streamlined algorithm using histologic clues, immunohistochemical profiles, and molecular assays to aid in diagnosis of these lesions.
DATA SOURCES.—: Sources were the World Health Organization Tumor Classification, literature review, and institutional experience.
CONCLUSIONS.—: Although many sinonasal tract malignancies show similar histology, distinct immunohistochemical and molecular profiles can help parse out differences, thereby facilitating diagnosis for the pathologist.
鼻腔鼻窦肿瘤是罕见的癌症,具有频繁的形态学重叠。鉴于这些实体中许多具有相似的组织学特征,它们常常给临床病理学家带来诊断挑战。
提供一种使用组织学线索、免疫组织化学特征和分子检测的简化算法,以帮助诊断这些病变。
来源是世界卫生组织肿瘤分类、文献回顾和机构经验。
尽管许多鼻腔鼻窦肿瘤显示出相似的组织学,但明确的免疫组织化学和分子特征可以帮助区分差异,从而为病理学家提供诊断帮助。
