[Oncocytic papilloma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses: 3 of cases]
Abstract:
Oncocytic papilloma (OP) of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are uncommon. We report 3 cases of oncocytic papilloma arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and review the relevant literatures. Unilateral sinonasal lesions are the main clinical manifestation. Pathological feature is multiple layers of epithelial cells. The cytoplasm contains abundant eosinophilic granular and microcapsules filling with mucus. The neutrophils aggregate in the microcapsules which form microabscess. The tendence of recurrence and malignant transformation are the biological character. The best treatment choice is surgical excision completely, and long-term postoperative follow-up is necessary to prevent relapse.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
