Frontal sinus malignancies, rare paranasal tumors, present with forehead pain and swelling. Treatment involves surgical resection, radiation for advanced grades, and reconstruction for defects.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Frontal sinus malignancies represent 2-3% of paranasal region cancers.
  • Common symptoms include forehead pain, swelling, orbital issues, epistaxis, and nasal discharge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for frontal sinus malignancies.
  • To describe surgical approaches, adjuvant therapies, and reconstructive techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Combined CT and MRI for tumor delineation and assessment of adjacent structures.
  • Surgical extirpation with approaches tailored to lesion extent (superior rhinotomy, bicoronal flap).
  • Postoperative irradiation for medium- to high-grade tumors and reconstructive techniques (flaps, bone grafts).

Main Results:

  • Surgical extirpation is the primary treatment for low-grade malignancies.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated for higher-grade lesions.
  • Reconstruction methods vary based on defect size, from local flaps to free flaps and bone grafts.

Conclusions:

  • Multimodality treatment, including surgery and potentially radiation, is crucial for managing frontal sinus malignancies.
  • Tailored surgical approaches and reconstruction are essential for optimal outcomes.
  • Accurate imaging is vital for surgical planning and management.
