A type of paranasal sinus (a hollow space in the bones around the nose). There are two large maxillary sinuses, one in each of the maxillary bones, which are in the cheek area next to the nose. The maxillary sinuses are lined with cells that make mucus to keep the nose from drying out.
Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is a rare cancer of the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses. Initial symptoms range from bloody nose, runny nose, double vision, and bulging eye to chronic infections and nasal obstruction.
Olfactory neuroblastoma, or esthesioneuroblastoma, is a tumor that grows in the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity has nerves and other tissue that are responsible for the sense of smell. This kind of tumor begins in the nasal cavity and can grow into the nearby eyes and brain.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
mesothelioma ( C45.-) A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the maxillary sinuses.
Squamous cell carcinoma arising at maxillary sinus is a rare neoplasm, characterized by aggressive growth pattern and glooming prognosis. There are no studies describing specifically its epidemiology in the South America. The aim of the current paper is to characterize a Brazilian maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma sample and to compare such data with others worldwide relevant series. The records of the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (1997-2006) were gathered and plotted. Additionally, an extensive literature review was carry out using electronic database (PUBMED/MEDLINE and LILACS) over a period of 54 years. A descriptive statistics and univariate survival test (log rank) were employed. Maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest malignancy of sinonasal epithelium found. It affected mainly mid-age white men and most of them were diagnosed at advanced stage. Surgery combined with radiotherapy was the most therapeutic modalities given. The overall mortality rate in our sample was of 65.5%. Overall 1-, 2- and 5-year survival rate was 57.9%, 44.8%, and 17.7%, respectively. Maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive tumor normally diagnosed at the advanced stage and most patients present an unfavorable prognosis and reduced survival rate.
Reviewing the literature about geographical distribution of MxSSCC, it was identified that its incidence among oriental and occidental population are almost the same and ranged from 40% to 80% within the group of the paranasal malignancies [5-30]. In contrast, some reports from Japanese series have shown a higher MxSSCC incidence in Asiatic population than other regions of the Globe, which might be related to the extensive use of soft wood in the Japanese furniture industry, high prevalence of chronic sinusitis, and widespread use of cigarette smoking [49] (Table 4). However, other studies should be done to clarify this apparently geographical MxSSCC predilection.
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses carcinomas account for 0.2-0.8% of all human malignant neoplasms. Among them, sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is one of the rarest epithelial neoplasms and represents about 3% of all malignancies of the head and neck region. It predominantly occurs within the maxillary sinus (60-70%) and less frequently in the nasal cavity (12-25%), ethmoid (10-15%) and sphenoid/frontal sinuses (1%) [1].
Distribution of metastases and relapses observed in the maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma sample studied.
Over a period of 10 years, 58 cases of MxSSCC were retrieved, which represented 54.2% of all epithelial malignancies and 41.2% of all ones that originated within the maxillary sinuses. Tables 1and and22summarize the sample data obtained from each MxSSCC-harboring patient. Most cases were histologically categorized as well/moderate histological grade. However, no association between TMN stage and histopathological grade was found (P> 0.05).
Surgical treatment of MxSSCC aims to promote local control and preserve or restore facial contour and function, but in most advanced-stage patients, the treatment frequently fails to achieve these targets [30]. Unfortunately, there is no optimal treatment for MxSSCC, but surgery remains as the gold-standardapproach to improve significantly the overall survival and loco-regional control for all patients. On the other hand, radiotherapy associated or not with chemotherapy has rarely achieved the best results [5-30]. Furthermore, these patients normally suffer from several complications such as visual impairment, carotid blow-out, cerebrovascular accident, and superficial necrosis [29,30]. Our review evidenced that those patients who were treated by trimodal therapy achieved the highest survival rate [16,22,24,25,27]. In contrast, a published series by Jeremic et al., 2000[20] showed a higher survival ratio in patients treated with both surgery and radiotherapy. In our samples, surgery and radiotherapy were used in most patients, but no impact in the survival rate was observed. So, multicentric studies are warranted to discovery the best way to treat these patients needed to be done. Regardless of the treatment employed, recurrence remains the major cause of failure. In our retrospective review, this was found in more than one-third of the cases, and similar findings were detected in the present study. Surgical margins are difficult to ascertain in MxSSCC as is practically impossible to carry out en bloc resection due to its extensive size [11]. The literature reveals positive margins in approximately 33% of cases, more than those observed in our samples [5-30]. As stated by Hayashi et al., 2001[22], incomplete surgical resection may have impact on prognosis. A new craniofacial surgical approach to remove large tumors has been used and it is possible to speculate that over the next decades, the survival rate will enhance even with increasingly risk of other surgical-related complications [52-54]. About lymph node resection, a recent international review on this subject suggested that regional nodes should be treated in these patients electively, especially in T3 and T4 patients [55].
Histologically, MxSSCC is identical to SCC originating in other head and neck regions and most tumors present a well/moderate differentiation [1]. As observed here, as well as in other series, histologic differentiation appears not to be significantly associated with prognosis [14,17,20,22,25].
Objectives/hypothesis: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for > 90% of head and neck cancers and 60% to 75% of malignancies of the paranasal sinuses. The most commonly affected paranasal sinus is the maxillary. Epidemiologic, incidence, and survival trends have been studied for maxillary sinus SCC (MSSCC), but far less is known about its metastatic potential.
Conclusions: MSSCC is a rare entity with poor overall prognosis. The majority of patients included in this study were white males aged ≥50 years, with most tumors presenting at advanced stages. Nodal involvement and distant metastasis are poor prognostic indicators. T1-T3 tumors did not metastasize to distant sites.
Squamous cell carcinoma is most commonly seen in fair-skinned people who have spent extended time in the sun. Other risk factors for SCC include: 1 Blue or green eyed people with blond or red hair 2 Long-term daily sun exposure, as with people that work outdoors with no sun protection or covering up 3 Many severe sunburns early in life 4 Older age. The older a person, the longer sun exposure they have had 5 Overexposure or long-term exposure to X-rays 6 Chemical exposures, such as arsenic in drinking water, tar, or working with insecticides or herbicides. 7 Tanning bed use. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 170,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year are associated with indoor tanning. Use of indoor UV tanning equipment increases a person’s risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent.

ICD-10-CM chapter 2 contains codes for most benign and malignant neoplasms. As in ICD-9-CM, there is a separate Table of Neoplasms. Codes should be selected from the table. It is important to remember when accessing the Neoplasm Table, to look under the main term Skin, first, then drop to the body part, to locate the appropriate code.
