Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma（NKTL） and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma（DLBCL） to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of nasal lymphomas. Methods:A retrospective analysis of cases of nasal NKTL and DLBCL was conducted. The clinical symptoms, signs, and imaging features of both groups were compared and statistically analyzed. Results: The DLBCL group showed more symptoms like exophthalmos/diplopia and epiphora compared to the NKTL group （both P=0.040）. NKTL cases were more likely to be misdiagnosed as sinusitis（P=0.007）. In NKTL cases, nasal mucosal swelling（P<0.01）, destruction of nasal structures（P=0.002）, and external nasal structural abnormalities（P=0.003） were more prevalent. In imaging, the DLBCL group more commonly demonstrated worm-eaten destruction of sinus bones （P=0.004）, sinus masses （P=0.018）, and invasion of adjacent structures including the pterygopalatine fossa, infratemporal fossa （P<0.01）, orbit （P=0.039）, and skull base （P=0.011）. NKTL involved the turbinates（P=0.001）, nasal cavity and septum（P=0.016）, nasopharynx（P<0.01）, and "skip" infiltration of external nasal tissues（P=0.042） more frequently. No statistically significant differences were found in other clinical features between the two groups. Conclusion:For patients with nasal obstruction and discharge, it is essential to inquire about systemic B symptoms, such as fever, and eye symptoms, such as periorbital swelling, diplopia, and lacrimation. Lymphoma should be suspected if local examination reveals diffuse nasal swelling, destruction of turbinates or septum, and external nasal structural abnormalities. Worm-eaten bone destruction and "cast-like" changes of the turbinates, septum, and nasal cavity, as well as "skip" infiltration of the external nose, are more common in NKTL. Sinus masses with invasion of the pterygopalatine fossa, infratemporal fossa, skull base, and orbit are more typical of DLBCL.

Invasive angiomyxoma（AAM） is characterized by unclear boundaries, non enveloped glial growth, high recurrence rate, and belongs to a benign tumor, but it is invasive and grows slowly. A patient with recurrent left vestibular invasive angiomyxoma was admitted to the Otorhinolaryngology ward of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University. The patient underwent two repeated surgeries and underwent a combined internal and external nasal approach for the removal of the nasal vestibular angiomyxoma. The patient recovered well after the surgery and has not recurred since follow-up.

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.

Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type（ENKTL） is a highly aggressive malignant tumor derived from NK cells. This article reports a case of ENKTL invading the larynx and digestive tract. The clinical clinical manifestations include hoarseness and intranasal masses.

Objective: To summarize the preliminary experience in the treatment of esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) and to explore the effect of age, chemotherapy, modified Kadish stage and pathological grade on the prognosis of ENB. Methods: The clinical data of 87 ENB patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between June 2002 and November 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The modified Kadish stage was used to evaluate the extent of the lesions, and the Hyams grading system was used for pathological grading. The patients were followed up regularly to evaluate the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor. Cox proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Prognostic factors with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis. After controlling the confounding factors, the model coefficients were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The median follow-up time of ENB patients was 29 months, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 39.3%. In univariate analysis, age, chemotherapy, modified Kadish stage and pathology grade were independent predictors of overall survival, while gender, radiotherapy and surgery were not prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that modified Kadish stage and pathology grade were independent predictors of overall survival rate after excluding confounding factors. Conclusions: Age, chemotherapy, modified Kadish stage and pathological grade are taking important role in the overall survival rate of patients with ENB. Modified Kadish stage and pathological grade are independent predictors of overall survival rate.
