Objective:To compare the clinical effects and complications of surgery + chemotherapy and radiotherapy + chemotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma recurrence, so as to compare the safety and efficacy of two different therapeutic methods. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to June 2020. Among them, 26 patients were treated with surgery. The recurrent tumor was removed under nasal endoscope, and the frozen resection margin was negative during the operation. Chemotherapy was continued for stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients from 3 to 5 weeks after surgery. Fourteen patients received secondary radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Postoperative complications and survival rate were observed. Results:There were 14 patients in the secondary chemoradiotherapy group（control group） and 26 patients in the nasal endoscopic surgery group（observation group）. Among the 26 patients, 19 patients underwent nasal septal mucosal repair, 5 patients underwent temporal muscle flap repair, 2 patients underwent submental flap repair, 2 patients had nasal septal mucosal flap necrosis and cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and the temporal muscle flap was used for secondary repair in the second stage operation, and 8 patients needed cervical lymph node dissection. The patients recovered well after surgery, and the patients in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were treated with chemotherapy after 3 weeks to 5 weeks according to the patient's wound condition. There were significant differences in the incidence of complications and 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates between the two groups（P<0.05）. Conclusion:Patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be treated by nasal endoscopic surgery to remove the tumor, and the use of pedicled nasal septal mucosal flap or temporal muscle flap for skull base reconstruction, The operation can effectively prevent major complications such as internal carotid artery rupture and hemorrhage, and improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients. It provides a safe and effective treatment for patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Osteoid osteoma was first reported in 1935 by Jaffe. It is a kind of benign bone disease with the limitation of well-defined lesions. It is rarely seen in the periorbital region. The only symptom of the patient was unilateral proptosis of right. The result of MRI examination was cystic masses in the edge of the right orbit. The tumor was complete removed by the nasal endoscopic approach during the surgery. Pathology result was reported as osteoid osteoma. There was no significant complications of diplopia, visual acuity decreased, enophthalmos, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and others.

Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumour found in soft tissue; it is a mesenchymal spindle cell tumour that is not related to the synovial membrane. This tumour has a low incidence, and the most frequent place of occurrence is the lower extremities in young adults. Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck accounts for 3%-5% of sarcomas in this anatomical region. The tumor in the nasal cavity is less than 1%. The treatment of choice for synovial sarcoma of the head and neck is complete surgical excision of the tumour mass followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

We report a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the nasal septum. A 37-year-old woman presented with a 1-year-history of right-sided occasional epistaxis. Computed tomographic scans revealed an oval mass in the right nasal cavity. The tumor was removed endoscopically with endonasal approach. The microscopic finding showed numbers of myoepithelial cells and duct-like structures consisting of loose myxoid stroma. This lesion had histological characteristics of a pleomorphic adenoma, and this was confirmed by immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin, S-100 protein and SMA. Her post-operative course was uneventful, and she is currently free from the disease 1.5 years after surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the long-term clinical efficacy of endoscopic surgery of primary sinonasal malignant neoplasms and find out the potential postoperative prognostic factors. METHOD: Forty-three clinical cases of primary sinonasal malignant neoplasms treated under endoscopy were analyzed retrospectively. RESULT: Fifteen patients died. The 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 83. 7% (36/43), 74. 4% (32/43), 69. 8% (30/43) and 65. 1% (28/43), respectively. Kaplan-Meier single-variable analysis showed that gender, T grade, TNM stage and pathological types of olfactory neuroblastoma were statistically significant prognostic factors (P< 0. 05). COX Pro-Portional hazard models showed that TNM stage was an independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Endoscopic surgery for primary sinonasal malignant neoplasms is a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical treatment, and it is an important supplement to the traditional surgery. Gender, T grade, TNM stage and pathological types of olfactory neuroblastoma might be significant prognostic factors.

We reported a case of nasal malignant granular cell tumor. The patient was a 51 years old man who went to the hospital because of "right nasal intermittent bleeding for half a year". The pathological examination after resection showed malignant granular cell tumor. No recurrence was noted during a year after resection. The etiology and pathogenesis, clinical features, pathological features and treatments of malignant granular cell tumor were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the therapeutic effect and study the role of nasal mucosa epithelization after endoscopic surgery using the plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature in patients with nasal inverted papilloma. METHOD: The clinical data of 104 patients with nasal inverted papilloma underwent endoscopic surgery u sing the plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature from July, 2008 to July, 2012 were analyzed,and the recovery of mucosa was observed under nasal endoscope. RESULT: The mucosa recovery extent showed a decreasing trend from mucosa pattern degree I to III, where the difference was statistically significant by chi-square test between groups (P < 0.05). The average epithelialization time was 2.7 months. It showed a significantly decreasing trend among average epithelialization time of different degrees of mucosa (P < 0.05). The nasal mucosa of most patients completed epithelialization 2.9 months after surgery. CONCLUSION It is safe and effective to treat nasal inverted papilloma with plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature. The patients should be followed up with regular reexamination for at least three months after surgery.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is one of the most common benign sinonasal tumors demonstrating a high recurrence rate after surgery, and sometimes presents malignant tendency or coexists squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, it is essential to achieve complete surgical resection, especially the original location of SNIP. In this paper, we evaluated the predictability of preoperative CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for localization of SNIP origin.
