Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features, therapeutic methods and therapeutic effects of sinonasal hemangiopericytoma.
METHODSClinical data of 6 patients with sinonasal hemangiopericytoma, diagnosed by pathology and immunohistochemistry between January 1990 and December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 4 males and 2 females, with a median age of 58 years. Clinical manifestation included epistaxis and nasal obstruction. These patients were operated on by nasal endoscopic surgery or endoscope-assisted surgery, of which 2 cases of tumor located in the nasal cavity underwent nasal endoscopic surgery and 4 cases of tumor located in the nasal cavity and sinuses underwent endoscope-assisted surgery.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for a period of 6 months to 7 years after operation. Two cases recurred and 4 cases didn't recurred. One case recurred 6 months after operation and underwent second operation, with no recurrence by further one year follow-up. Another case recurred 17 months after operation and underwent second operation, with recurrence by further 9 months follow-up. This patient lived with tumor over two years.
CONCLUSIONSHemangiopericytomas are rarely found in the sinonasal cavity. Nasal endoscopic or endoscope-assisted surgery provides satisfactory effect.
