The papilloma of the nose and the sinuses is uncommon benign neoplasm that was pro bably first described by Billroth in 1855 as a "villiform cancer": It may polypoid or papillomatous in the nose or sinuses and is frequently multiple. Clinically, there are 3types of the papilloma found in the nasal cavity and sinuses, vestibule, fungiform, inverting. The vestibular type is the keratotic lesion arise from the squamous epithelium lining the vestibule of the nose. The inverting type, which is covered by the columnar or metaplastic squamous epithelium is pliable, pink and tends to bleed quite easily. The fungiform type is covered by the stratified squamous epithelium which shows varying degree of cornification. It is more caulflow like than the inverting type and does not bleed easily. Recently, the authors experienced a case of the fungiform type papilloma which occupied right nasal cavity and nasopharynx. So, we reports the case, with review of the current brief literatures. A 55 year old man was admitted with the chief complaints of right nasal obstruction by the protruded movable mass on right nasal cavity, which was noticed about 7 months ago. The biopsy report revealed fungiform type papilloma.(length 18cm. width 2.5 cm. weight 41 gr.) The tumor mass was removed surgically through intranasal approach under the general anesthesia. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after 7 days hospitalization. No evidence of recurrence has been observed up to date.

Cutaneous horn is the clinical entity, which is circumscribed, conical, markedly hyperkeratotic lesion in which the height of the keratotic mass amounts to at least half of its largest diameter. It may be associated with many different pathological lesions. It is a relatively rare and a kind of epidermal tumor that generally appears as a conical projection. Here, we report rare case of congenital cutaneous horn. A 39-month-old female Korean patient presented at our clinic with a mass at the tip of her nose present since birth. Under general anesthesia, cutaneous horn of nasal tip was completely excised without any complications. The operation site was small enough to perform a primary closure, without any nasal deformity. Histopathologically, it was reported as a fibroepithelial polyps. After operation, there is no evidence of recurrence at 16 months of follow-up.

The lateral rhinotomy signifies only an incision and not on operation and a lateral rhinotomy incision with osteotomy of the nasal bones provides access to the entire nasal cavity and maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses as well as the frontal sinus if the floor is removed, permitting removal of benign lesions at these sites and en bloc resection of the ethmoid labyrinth and the party wall between the nasal cavity and antrum with infiltrating tumors. The authors treated a tumor patient and a midfacial bone fracture patient via lateral rhinotomy approach and had a good result. So we report the cases with literature review.

The present study reports a case of inverted papilloma of the nasal cavity and infiltrating into the maxillary sinus. Inverted papilloma is an uncommon and locally aggressive benign tumor of the sinonasal region. The patient, 51year-old male, presented with unilateral nasal obstruction and periodic swelling on the palate without pain. Enhanced CT scan revealed a heterogeneously enhancing solid mass in the nasal cavity and infiltrating into the right maxillary sinus, as well as an incidental, secondarily infected residual cyst in the periapical area of the right maxillary canine. The sinonasal mass was revealed as an inverted papilloma on histopathologic examination. (Korean J Oral Maxillofac Radiol2009; 39: 103-7)

Glomus tumors are uncommon soft tissue tumors which usually found in a subungual lesion of hand, producing pain. This uncommon tumors have been reported in other locations, including nasal cavity, stomach, mediastinum, heart, lung, and vagina etc. Especially, it was a very rare case found in an extradigital lesion of foot. Glomus tumors should not be ruled out for an extradigital mass lesion of foot and also any other locations. Although glomus tumors are generally considered a benign lesion, it should be considered that glomus tumors have also reported as a malignant type tumor, even the diagnosis based on histologic features not clinical one.

A 37 year-old male presented with sudden right proptosis and bilateral nasal obstruction. A huge tumor was noted in bilateral nasal cavities, ethmoid sinuses and central frontal sinus on magnetic resonance imaging. Right posterior frontal sinus wall and bilateral medial orbital wall was destructed by the tumor. Complete resection of the tumor was performed via minimal invasive craniofacial resection. Histopaghologic examination revealed sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was developed after 2 days of the surgery. On the 5th day, anterior skull base was reconstructed with forearm free flap (FFF). The patient got 6000cGy of radiotherapy and survived in 27 months of follow up.

Ameloblastomaa are odontogenic benign tumors with epithelial origin, which are characterized by slow, aggressive, and invasive growth. Most ameloblastomas occur in the mandible, and their prevalence in the maxilla is low. A 27-year-old male visited our clinic with a chief complaint of the left side nasal airway obstruction. Three-dimensional computed tomography showed left maxillary sinus filled with a mass. Except for the perforated maxillary left edentulous area, no invaded or destructed bone was noted. The tumor was excised via Le Fort I osteotomy. The main mass was then sent for biopsy and it revealed acanthomatous ameloblastoma. The lesion in the left maxillary sinus reached the ethmoidal sinus through the nasal cavity but did not invade the orbit and skull base. The tumor was accessed through a Le Fort I downfracture in consideration of the growth pattern and range of invasion. The operation site healed without aesthetic appearances and functional impairments. However, further long-term clinical observation is necessary in the future for the recurrence of ameloblastoma. Conservative surgical treatment could be the first choice considering fast recovery after surgery and the patient's life quality.

Authors experienced a case of intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in 29-year-old female. The origin of this tumor might be mucus secreting cells of palatal mucous gland. The characteristic features were as follows: 1. In clinical examination, exopytic mass was observed in left hard palate and similar to pleomorphic adenoma. 2. In radiographic findings, destructive changes of left hard palate, nasal septum, nasal inferior turbinate and floor of maxillary sinus and soft tissue mass were observed. 3. Histopathologically, mucus-secreting cells, epidermoid cells and intermediate cells were observed and diagnosed as intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with intermediate malignity and metastasis risk. It presents epithelioid cells with intracytoplasmic vacuoles and low mitotic activity. Its vascular nature can be confirmed by immunohistochemical studies (vimentin, CD31, CD34, and factor VIII). It is extremely rare in the nasal cavity, with only one case reported on the middle turbinate in Korea. The authors present a case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma on the choana with a size of 2mm, which easily coult have been misdiagnosed as a blood clot.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) is the malignant part of mesenchymal cell-originated tumor, which is supposed that the tumor is presented various histologic features consisted of fibrosarcomatic and histiocytic portions. When the tumor is arisen in the head and neck region, the most affected sites are the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and secondly the maxillary alveolar bone is occasionally influenced. Therefore, MFH can readily involve the adjacent alveolar bone. The treatment of MFH in the head and neck is various, that is, the involved sites and the differentiation of tumor must be considered when the tumor is treated. The treatment protocols are subjected to general ones of soft tissue sarcoma, and simple or combination therapy is used in the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. So, we report a clinical case of chemotherapy involving intraarterial chemotherapy, and surgery of malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) in the maxilla, with review of the literature.
