Objective: To investigate the surgical treatment of chorndrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus under nasal endoscope, and to summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.
Methods: the clinical data of seven patients with chorndrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus treated with nasal endoscopic surgery were retrospectively analyzed, and the surgical techniques and clinical characteristics of chondrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus were summarized.
Results: Seven patients underwent nasal endoscopic resection, and the follow-up effect was good. The clinical features of chondrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus are complex and varied, and it is difficult to make a definite diagnosis. Early chondrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus is limited to the nasal sinus, the operation is easier, the treatment effect is better. The advanced lesions are extensive and even easy to involve the orbital and skull base. The operation is difficult and risky, and the prognosis is poor. Irregular plaque calcification is a typical imaging feature of this disease.
Conclusion: Endoscopic radical resection is the first choice for the treatment of chondrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus. Early diagnosis of chondrosarcoma of the nasal cavity and sinus is difficult, which should be combined with CT, MR imaging, and histopathology.
