Update from the 5th Edition of the WHO Classification of Nasal, Paranasal, and Skull Base Tumors: Imaging Overview with Histopathologic and Genetic Correlation.

Sinonasal and skull base tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with considerable histologic variation and overlapping imaging features. In 2022, the World Health Organization updated the head and neck tumor classification, further emphasizing the importance of molecular data and genetic alterations in sinonasal neoplasms. The changes include the addition of new entities and discussion of emerging entities, as well as changes to the taxonomy and characterization of tumors. The new classification focuses on entities that develop in these sites either exclusively (eg, olfactory neuroblastoma) or most frequently. Another change includes reduction in the number of categories by creating separate category-specific chapters for soft-tissue, hematolymphoid, and neuroectodermal lesions. In this review, we briefly discuss the various categories in the new classification with a more detailed description of the 2 new entities (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable complex-deficient sinonasal carcinomas and human papillomavirus-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma). We also highlight the emerging entities including -mutant sinonasal malignancies and carcinoma, presently classified as sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, respectively.
