Abstract
Since squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the nasoethmoidal complex are rare and aggressive malignancies, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether anatomic subsites of SCCs of the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinuses affect clinical outcome. We retrospectively analyzed data from 47 patients with primary SCCs of the nasal cavity and ethmoid sinuses who were treated at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, between 1993 and 2018. The impact of anatomic subsites of nasoethmoidal SCCs was evaluated with respect to tumor and nodal classification, disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Of the 47 cases, 17 SCCs (36.2%) originated from lateral nasal wall followed by 13 (27.7%) tumors of the edge of naris to mucocutaneous junction, 11 (23.4%) SCCs of the nasal septum, 3 tumors of the nasal floor (6.4%) and 3 SCCs of the ethmoid sinuses (6.4%), respectively. SCCs of the nasal septum were associated with significantly higher rates of neck node metastasis (p = 0.007), which represented a significantly worse prognostic factor for DSS (HR 7.87; p < 0.001). Moreover, advanced tumor stage (HR 5.38; p = 0.014) and tumor origin of nasal septum (HR 4.05; p = 0.025)...Continue Reading
