  • Title: Adenocarcinoma of the ethmoidal and nasal mucosa: lateral rhinotomy as a more conservative approach.
    Author: González-García R, Naval-Gías L, Rodríguez-Campo FJ, Sastre-Pérez J, Gamallo C.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 2006 Aug; 126(8):878-80. PubMed ID: 16846933.
    Abstract:
    Malignant neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are infrequent. In relation to salivary gland carcinomas of the naso-ethmoidal region and, due to its poor prognosis, a radical en bloc resection followed by radiotherapy is mandatory to control the disease. Surgically, naso-ethmoidal tumors must be managed by means of a combined craniofacial approach or using a lateral or total rhinotomy, a transpalatal or a transantral approach. We suggest the use of lateral rhinotomy for tumors of moderate size located homo-laterally, without involvement of the orbits, the cribriform plate, sphenoidal sinus or the clivus. A wide approach with minimal aesthetic and functional consequences is obtained by means of this method.
