[Application of maxillary bone eversion reduction on benign tumor in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus invading the
Abstract
Objective:
To investigate the operative methods for benign tumors in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus invading the skull base.
Methods:
Six cases of benign tumors in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus invading the skull base were reported. Of them, 3 were ossifying fibromas, 1 osteoma, 1 osteochondroma and 1 giant osteoid osteoma. The tumors were removed by combined approaches through unilateral maxillary bone eversion reduction.
Results:
No complication was found. Follow-up was made 2-3 years after operation. Five cases were uneventful, 1 had a relapse of tumor but still alive.
Conclusions:
The method is appropriate for treating benign tumors in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus invading the skull base.
