Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

Abstract
Head and neck mucosal melanoma is a rare clinical subtype of melanoma or head and neck cancer. Mucosal melanoma is aetiologically and molecularly distinct from cutaneous melanoma. The therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors for head and neck mucosal melanoma remains unclear. Surgery is considered as the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced head and neck mucosal melanoma, and adjuvant radiotherapy has a role in local disease control. New treatment modalities, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, have changed the treatment of cutaneous melanoma. However, patients with mucosal melanoma have been excluded from most Phase III clinical trials. Due to its rarity, outcome data for locally advanced head and neck mucosal melanoma are scarce and are mainly based on retrospective studies with limited case numbers. The objective of this review was to provide an update and overview of clinical trials, prospective observational studies and retrospective studies and discuss future directions for multimodal treatment of locally advanced head and neck mucosal melanoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate recurrence patterns and survival after recurrence among patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). METHODS This was a multi-institutional retrospective review from seven U.S. institutions of patients with SNMM from 1991 to 2022. Recurrence was categorized as local, regional, distant, or multifocal. Kaplan-Meier tests were used to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and post-recurrence survival (PRS) reported with standard errors (SE) and log-rank testing used for comparison. Cox-regression was further used, with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) reported. RESULTS Among 196 patients with SNMM, there were 146 patients with recurrence (74.5%). Among all patients, 60-month DFS (SE) was 15.5% (2.9%), 60-month OS (SE) was 44.7% (3.7%), mean age ± standard deviation at diagnosis was 69.7 ± 12.5 years, and 54.6% were female. In 26 patients who underwent primary treatment of the neck, 60-month DFS did not differ from no treatment (p > 0.05). Isolated distant recurrence was most common (42.8%), followed by local (28.3%), multifocal (20.7%), and regional recurrence (8.3%). Among patients with regional recurrence in the neck, there was no 60-month PRS benefit for patients undergoing salvage neck dissection or radiation (p > 0.05). Among patients with distant recurrence, only immunotherapy was associated with improved 12-month PRS (HR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.11-0.92, p = 0.034), and no treatment group was associated with improved 24- or 60-month PRS (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION SNMM is associated with a high recurrence rate and poor survival. Primary treatment of the neck was not associated with reduced recurrence, and immunotherapy for treatment of distant recurrence was associated with increased 12-month PRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare malignant neoplasm. The regional failure pattern and effectiveness of elective neck irradiation (ENI) were not well defined. Here, we would assess the value of ENI for clinical node negative (cN0) SNMM patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 107 SNMM patients treated at our institution over a period of 30 years was retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Five patients had lymph node metastases at diagnosis. Among the 102 cN0 patients analyzed, 37 patients had received ENI, and 65 patients had not. ENI significantly reduced the regional recurrence rate from 23.1% (15/65) to 2.7% (1/37). Ipsilateral levels Ib and II were the most common locations of regional relapse. Multivariate analysis also showed that ENI was the only independent favorable predictor for the achievement of regional control (HR: 9.120; 95% CI: 1.204-69.109; P = 0.032). CONCLUSION This is the largest cohort of SNMM patients from a single institution analyzed for the assessment of the value of ENI on regional control and survival. ENI significantly reduced the regional relapse rate in our study. Ipsilateral levels Ib and II might be considerable when deliver elective neck irradiation, more evidence is needed in the future.

Abstract
Among the 16,000 new cases of malignant tumors of the head and neck diagnosed in France each year, 10% are not conventional squamous cell carcinomas. These so-called rare cancers are distinguished by their presentation and patterns of failure, which is important to recognize in order to offer specific adapted management and maximize the chances of tumor control. These cancers can be rare by their histology as well as their anatomical location when arising from the paranasal sinuses, salivary glands and ear. The management of these heterogeneous rare diseases of complex treatment has considerably been structured over the last 15 years, in particular via the French ENT Cancer Expertise Network (REFCOR) and international networks and registries (EURACAN, etc.). Structuration also favors research with identification of new entities and setting up of specific therapeutic trials. A first article (part 1) discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic specificities of these rare cancers, and develops the recommendations of the REFCOR concerning rare epithelial tumors, i.e., salivary tumors, sinonasal tumors, variants of conventional squamous cell carcinomas, neuroendocrine carcinomas, malignant odontogenic tumors, and ear tumors. This second article (part 2) is focused on non-epithelial tumors (sarcomas, mucosal melanomas, lymphomas, tumors of uncertain or undetermined malignancy) and describes the organization and missions of the REFCOR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis and its effect on prognosis in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program data. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors were compared between groups using log-rank test and Fisher's exact test, and prognostic factors were screened using the Cox proportional hazards model. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to examine the treatment differences after accounting for sex, age, race, T stage, N stage, and M stage. RESULTS Level I (57.1%) and level II (53.6%) nodes were the most common sites of lymph node metastasis, followed by level III (17.9%) and IV (17.9%) nodes. T stage, M stage, and tumor size were associated with LN metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rates for patients without and with LN metastasis were 35.2% and 5.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Level I and II lymph nodes may be the sentinel nodes of SNMM, Advanced T stage and increasing tumor size could promote LN metastasis. LN metastasis may promote distant metastasis and remains an important prognostic factor for patients with SNMM.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive tumor with high metastatic potential and poor outcomes. Presenting symptoms are nonspecific, and the nasal cavity is the most common site of origin followed by the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Histopathologically, SNMMs are pleomorphic and predominantly composed of epithelioid cell type. Identifying these tumors requires a high index of suspicion for melanoma and the use of a panel of immunohistochemical markers when typical histopathological features are missing. Not infrequently, these tumors are undifferentiated and/or amelanotic. Currently, SNMM falls into 2 different staging systems proposed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, one for carcinoma of the nasal cavity and sinuses and the other for head and neck melanoma. Although therapeutic standards do not exist, surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy may offer the best outcome. Lymphadenectomy including possible parotidectomy and neck dissection should be considered in patients with regional lymph node metastasis. However, the role of elective lymph node dissection is controversial. Genetic profiling has identified a number of recurrent gene mutations that may prove useful in providing targets for novel, emerging biological treatments. In this article, we provide an update on clinicopathological features, staging, molecular discoveries, and treatment options for SNMM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine prognostic factors and survival patterns for different treatment modalities for nasal cavity (NC) and paranasal sinus (PS) mucosal melanoma (MM). METHODS Patients from 1973 to 2013 were analyzed using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable cox proportional hazard modeling were used for survival analyses. RESULTS Of 928 cases of mucosal melanoma (NC = 632, PS = 302), increasing age (Hazard Ratio [HR]:1.05/year, p < 0.001), T4 tumors (HR: 1.81, p = 0.02), N1 status (HR: 6.61, p < 0.001), and PS disease (HR: 1.50, p < 0.001) were associated with worse survival. Median survival length was lower for PS versus NC (16 versus 26 months, p < 0.001). Surgery and surgery + radiation therapy (RT) improved survival over non-treatment or RT alone (p < 0.001). Adding RT to surgery did not yield a survival difference compared with surgery alone (p = 0.43). Five-year survival rates for surgery and surgery + RT were similar, at 27.7% and 25.1% (p = 0.43). CONCLUSION Surgery increased survival significantly over RT alone. RT following surgical resection did not improve survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The advent of immunotherapy has impacted both the management and, to a lesser extent, the outcomes for patients with head and neck mucosal melanoma. As a consequence, one might expect that the role of the surgeon would be limited to the diagnostic work-up and that systemic therapies would be the mainstay of treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we present the surgical aspects of the recently published United Kingdom Head and Neck Mucosal Melanoma Guideline to highlight the continued role of surgeons in the management of this disease. We highlight key areas where surgeons remain the lead clinician and reinforce the multidisciplinary requirement for exemplary patient care. CONCLUSIONS Despite the advent of immunotherapy, surgeons continue to have a key role to play in this disease. When indicated, it is essential that appropriate surgery is offered by a suitably experienced team.

Abstract
Noncutaneous melanomas are rare subtypes of melanoma with high rates of metastatic disease and poor overall survival. One-third to one-half of cases are amelanotic, which may contribute to a delay in diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry staining with typical melanoma markers helps confirm the diagnosis. There is no standard staging system across mucosal melanomas. Elective nodal dissection is not recommended and there is a paucity of data to support use of sentinel lymph node biopsy. Mutational analysis should be routinely performed. Systemic therapy options include targeted inhibitors, immunotherapy, and cytotoxic chemotherapy, although further studies are needed to confirm their efficacy.

Abstract
Background The question how to treat the clinically negative neck in sinonasal malignancies is controversial. Objectives To investigate patterns of treatment failure and to assess outcome measures in patients with primary sinonasal malignancies. Methods Retrospective cohort study of patients treated for primary malignant sinonasal malignancies. Results Lymph node (LN) metastases at initial presentation were present in 8 of 152 patients (5.3%). Ipsi- and contralateral LN levels 1 and 2 were identified as nodal basins at risk. We found a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 75.2% and disease free survival of 61.1%. Among patients with cN0 neck, nodal recurrence free survival was not different between patients with and without elective neck treatment (P = .23). On logistic regression analysis, we found initial T classification as an independent factor for achievement of complete remission (CR) and OS. Conclusions LN metastases at initial presentation are rare and initial T classification was identified as the most important prognostic factor for OS and CR, emphasizing the need for a thorough initial staging of the primary tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of nodal involvement is not well established in head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM). METHODS A retrospective, monocentric study was performed on 96 patients with HNMM treated between 2000 and 2017. RESULTS At diagnosis, seventeen patients (17.8%) were cN1, with a higher risk for HNMM arising from the oral cavity (p = 0.01). cN status had no prognostic value in patients with nonmetastatic resectable HNMM. No occult nodal metastasis was observed in the cN0 patients after a nodal dissection (ND). The nodal recurrence rate was similar in the cN1 and the cN0 patients. No isolated nodal recurrences were noted. Among the patients who underwent a ND, no benefit of this procedure was noted. CONCLUSIONS cN1 status is not a prognostic factor in patients with resectable HNMM. Elective ND should not be systematically performed in cN0 HNMM.

Abstract
Background Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to assess the clinical and imaging features, progression, treatment, and possible prognostic factors of SNMM. Methods Thirty-six patients with SNMM were retrospectively reviewed in the Department of Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery of Xinhua Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017. Results The age of the first diagnosis was 67.4±10.8 years; the most common clinical symptoms included epistaxis, nasal obstruction, headache, and facial pain. Most tumors originated in the nasal cavity (63.9%) and at stage IV (77.8%). Melanin in melanoma showed typical signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), T1WI had high signal while T2WI had low signal. 41.6% of patients had the typical MRI findings. Treatment included surgery, surgery with radiotherapy, and radiotherapy only. The follow-up time ranged from 4 to 96 months, with a median time of 22 months, 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS is 80.6%, 36.1%, and 13.9%, respectively. The 3-year OS was better in cases in the T3 stage than the T4 stage (P=0.02). However, tumors that originated from the paranasal sinus had a poorer prognosis than the nasal cavity (P=0.04). The cases receiving postoperative radiotherapy showed poorer prognosis (P=0.02). Other factors were not found to be associated with prognosis, including gender, age, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, computed tomography (CT) enhancement, and typical MRI findings. Conclusions The SNMM was a devastating tumor with poor outcomes; most cases were diagnosed at late stages, which may account for poor prognosis. Tumors with melanin feature MRI findings do not have a better prognosis. The treatment of postoperative radiotherapy is still controversial.

Abstract
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare tumor, comprising less than 10% of sinonasal malignancies. SNMM most frequently occurs in the nasal cavity (70%) and maxillary sinus (14%), typically as black patches. Overall, SNMM harbors a very poor prognosis; 5-year survival is less than 30%. Nasal cavity tumors confer a better prognosis than sinus melanoma. The primary management for SNMM is surgery, when feasible, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Recent studies suggest that immunotherapy may confer survival benefit to patients with advanced disease. The multidisciplinary team approach has been shown to optimize treatment, reduce costs, and minimize adverse events, while maximizing the chances for cure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to review a local treatment protocol for sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) focusing on triple modality treatment (TMT), that is, neoadjuvant concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and surgery. METHODS In a retrospective design, data on clinical presentation, treatment, and survival were retrieved for 22 consecutive patients from a tertiary referral center. RESULTS The mean overall survival (OS) for all patients (3 stage III, 16 stage IVA, and 3 stage IVB) was 62 months, and the 5-year OS rate 50%. Four of the 22 patients received treatment with palliative intention. Of the 18 patients who received treatment with curative intention, patients with stage IVA disease who received TMT (n = 10) had a 5-year OS of 70% and 10-year OS of 20%. The median disease-free survival for these patients was 51 months compared with 9 months for stage IVA not receiving TMT (n = 4). CONCLUSION A seemingly favorable survival outcome for a disease with characteristically poor prognosis was observed. The lead finding was a high survival rate (70% 5-year OS) for stage IVA patients who received neoadjuvant TMT. The observations suggest the possibility that patients with advanced SNMM (stage IVA) might benefit from concomitant CRT before surgery by delaying the onset of local recurrences and distant metastases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4, case series (with or without comparison).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is aggressive and rare, with a poor prognosis because of its high metastatic potential. The two main subtypes are sinonasal (sinonasal mucosal melanoma [SNMM]) and oral cavity (oral cavity mucosal melanoma [OCMM]). Consensual therapeutic guidelines considering the primary tumour site and tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stage are not well established. MATERIAL & METHODS Patients with HNMM from the prospective national French Rare Head and Neck Cancer Expert Network database between 2000 and 2017 were included. Clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, outcomes and prognostic factors were analysed. RESULTS In total, 314 patients were included. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 49.4% and 24.7%, respectively, in the surgery group; no long-term survivors were observed when surgery was not feasible. Moreover, even after surgery, a high recurrence rate was reported with a median PFS of 22 months. In multivariate analysis, Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage and tumour site correlated with PFS and OS. Postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) improved the PFS but not OS in patients with small (T3) SNMM and OCMM tumours. Nodal involvement was more frequent in patients with OCMM (p < 10-4), although, as in SNMM, it was not a significant prognostic predictor. CONCLUSION Even early HNMM was associated with poor oncologic outcomes due to distant metastases despite surgical resection with clear margins. Lymph node metastases had no impact on the prognosis, suggesting treatment de-escalation in cervical node management. PORT might be useful for local control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is a rare and aggressive disease with a high metastatic potential. Two staging systems are currently available: one specific to HNMM (mmTNM) and one specific to primary tumour sites (sccTNM). Our main objective was to assess the prognostic value of both of these classifications in order to allow accurate risk-based classification. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with HNMM treated consecutively between 2000 and 2017. All of the patients were restaged using the mmTNM and the sccTNM. A prognostic analysis was carried out according to both staging systems. RESULTS There were 96 patients with an HNMM in our cohort, of whom 80 underwent surgical treatment followed by radiotherapy. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the operated patients were 39 months (95% CI, 21.6-56.4 months) and 18 months (95% CI, 6.5-29.5 months), respectively. A paranasal sinus localization was associated with lower survival compared to a nasal cavity primary localization (p < 1 0-4). Both of the classifications correlated with OS, PFS, and distant metastasis-free survival. High-risk HNMM were characterized as T4/stage IV by the mmTNM and T3-4/stage III-IV by the sccTNM. Given the primary tumour location, both TNM classifications were suitable for risk-stratification of sinonasal mucosal melanomas. However, combining both TNM, we defined new stages mmT3A and mmT3B according to sccTNM with a more accurate risk stratification (p < 1 0-4). CONCLUSIONS Both of the classifications should be combined, in order to improve the risk-stratification of patients with HNMM.

Abstract
Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a highly lethal variant of melanoma that carries a poor prognosis. Extremely low incidence and survival rates have led to few clinical trials, and a lack of protocols and guidelines. The present study performed a survival meta-analysis for the quantitative synthesis of available evidence to search for key patterns that would help clinicians tailor optimal therapeutic strategies in MM. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and other databases were searched. Hazard ratios, in disease-specific and overall survival, were calculated for each of the survival-determining variables. MM was 2.25 times more lethal than cutaneous melanoma (CM). The most significant threats to survival were advanced Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage, sino-nasal location, and old age. Chemotherapy was the most effective form of adjuvant therapy. Disease-specific survival, the primary measure of the effect sizes, can fluctuate depending on the accuracy of the reported cause of mortality. In conclusion, MM is a peculiar type of melanoma, with clinical and molecular profile vastly different from the much-familiar CM. In the wake of the era of precision oncology, further studies on driver mutations and oncogenic pathways would likely lead to improved patient survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of demographic factors, tumor stage, and treatment modalities for overall survival in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for patients of all ages with SNMM between 2004 and 2015. Univariate Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association of suspected prognostic factors with overall survival. RESULTS A total of 1,874 patients with SNMM were included in the analysis. The 5-year overall survival was 24%. Prognostic factors associated with decreased survival include advanced age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.03), T4 disease (HR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.09-1.89), and presence of distant metastases (HR: 3.22. 95% CI: 2.06-5.04). Improved survival was associated with surgical resection only when margins were negative (HR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.30-0.65). In patients with metastatic disease, administration of immunotherapy (HR: 0.14; 95% CI: 0.04-0.49) was associated with improved survival. Surgical approach, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were nonsignificant predictors of survival. CONCLUSIONS This investigation is the largest to date to analyze the association of treatment modalities with overall survival in SNMM. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment in patients with SNMM. However, administration of immunotherapy may confer survival benefit to patients with metastatic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucosal melanoma of the head and neck is a rare malignant tumor associated with a poor prognosis. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biotherapy are common strategies for treating mucosal melanoma of the head and neck. Episcleritis is an idiopathic, immune-mediated disease, and is classified into two types: simple episcleritis and nodular episcleritis. CASE PRESENTATION In this case report we describe ocular changes involving simple episcleritis in a 65-year-old Chinese man with mucosal melanoma of the head and neck after treatment with interferon alfa-2b and radiotherapy. On the third day of interferon alfa-2b treatment, he began to develop simple episcleritis in his left eye. Moreover, the percentage of CD3+ T cells in lymphocytes from blood was increased after interferon alfa-2b treatment. After approximately 6 days, the symptoms of eye pain, hyperemia, and edema disappeared gradually. Then, after radiotherapy was performed three times, he again developed episcleritis in his left eye. The same symptoms of hyperemia and edema occurred again; CD3+ T cell frequency was also at a higher level. After approximately a week, all the symptoms disappeared completely. Simple treatment involving topical ofloxacin and phenylephrine was administered during the two periods of episcleritis. CONCLUSION Episcleritis in this patient might have been due to the treatment with interferon alfa-2b and radiotherapy, leading to an increase in the level of CD3+ T cells and activation of immune system cells, which provides the guide for clinical clinicians.

Abstract
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare oncological entity that comprises most head and neck mucosal melanomas. SNMM has distinctive genetic background, different from cutaneous melanoma. Survival outcomes among SNMM patients are poor; while there is no clear consensus on the optimal management of SNMM, the primary treatment modality is generally considered to be wide surgical excision, and radiation therapy (RT) is often used in the postoperative adjuvant setting to improve locoregional control. Systemic therapies have demonstrated little or no survival benefit, and most SNMM patients die of distant metastatic disease. Owing to the rarity of the disease, the literature describing treatment approaches for SNMM is lacking and largely limited to isolated case reports and retrospective series. Here, we describe contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to SNMM based on the most recent molecular and outcome data.
