The pathology of poorly differentiated sinonasal malignancies has undergone a dynamic evolution during the last decade, resulting in a refined, mostly genetically or etiologically oriented classification of neoplasms in the historical spectrum of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (NUT carcinoma, SWI-/SNF-deficient carcinomas, and others). Moreover, some new entities have been established, while others could be further delineated and better characterized. A highlight of the new classification is the inclusion of SWI/SNF (SMARCB1 or SMARCA4)-deficient carcinomas into a separate category. In addition, carcinomas with DEK::AFF2 fusions have been included as a provisional entity in the spectrum of nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. This review addresses the major changes in the classification of sinonasal tract neoplasms in the new WHO classification.
在过去十年中,低分化鼻窦恶性肿瘤的病理学经历了动态演变,这导致在鼻窦未分化癌(NUT癌、SWI-/SNF缺陷型癌等)的历史谱系中,肿瘤分类更加精细,大多是基于基因或病因学导向。此外,一些新的实体已被确立,而其他一些实体也得到了进一步的界定和更准确的特征描述。新分类的一个亮点是将SWI/SNF(SMARCB1或SMARCA4)缺陷型癌归入一个单独的类别。此外,具有DEK::AFF2融合的癌已被作为一个临时实体纳入非角化鳞状细胞癌谱系。本综述阐述了新的世界卫生组织分类中鼻窦肿瘤分类的主要变化。
