Primary extracranial sinonasal meningiomas are one of the rarest tumours involving the head and neck region. Very few reports exist with additional involvement of the palato-antral region. A 45-year-old male presented with frequent episodes of epistaxis, complaints of nasal blockage and nasal regurgitation for 8 months in 2021 at our tertiary care government hospital in East Godavari district, India. The patient was diagnosed with a primary extracranial sinonasal meningioma with palatal involvement and surgical excision via intra-oral and endoscopic approaches were performed. Postoperative healing was uneventful with no recurrence noted over 2 years. A palatal obturator was used for rehabilitation. The diagnosis of this pathology requires additional immunohistochemistry testing for confirmation and treatment entails complete surgical excision which assures no recurrence or delayed presentation of residual disease in follow-up.
原发性颅外鼻窦脑膜瘤是累及头颈部区域的最罕见肿瘤之一。关于腭窦区域额外受累的报道极少。一名45岁男性于2021年在印度东戈达瓦里区的三级政府医院就诊,8个月来频繁鼻出血,伴有鼻塞和鼻反流症状。该患者被诊断为原发性颅外鼻窦脑膜瘤伴腭部受累,通过口腔内和内镜入路进行了手术切除。术后愈合顺利,2年多未复发。使用了腭部阻塞器进行康复治疗。这种病理诊断需要额外的免疫组织化学检测来确诊,治疗需要完整的手术切除,以确保随访中无复发或残留疾病延迟出现。
