Endoscopy-assisted medial canthus incision for olfactory neuroblastoma: a case report

World J Surg Oncol. 2024 Jun 22;22(1):163. doi: 10.1186/s12957-024-03448-9.

Abstract

Sinonasal malignant tumors are a group of uncommon malignancies that account for less than 1% of all tumors. These tumors often involve the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity, with less cumulative incidence in the ethmoidal sinus, sphenoidal sinus, and frontal sinus. The lack of consensus on the management of sinonasal malignancies is due to their rarity, diagnostic challenges, and the heterogeneity of treatments. In this paper, we present a case of endoscopic-assisted medial canthus incision combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of sinonasal malignant tumors, with the aim of providing valuable insights to clinicians on the management of these tumors.

Keywords: Endoscopy; Olfactory neuroblastoma; Sinonasal malignant tumors.
