Abstract
Objective Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a rare low-grade cancer that was included from the 4th edition of WHO classification of head and neck tumours. The purpose of this study is to analyse clinical behaviour, pattern of recurrences and survival outcomes of this neoplasm. Methods Retrospective review of patients affected by BSNS who were treated via an endoscopic-assisted approach in 6 European tertiary-care referral hospitals. Cases of BSNS described in literature since 2012 to date were fully reviewed, according to PRISMA guidelines. Results A total of 15 patients were included. Seven patients were treated via an endoscopic endonasal approach, 4 with endoscopic transnasal craniectomy, and 4 via a cranio-endoscopic approach. Adjuvant treatment was delivered in 2 cases. After a mean follow-up of 27.3 months, systemic metastasis was observed in 1 case; the 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 100% and 80 ± 17.9%, respectively. Conclusions BSNS is a locally aggressive tumour with a low recurrence rate and encouraging survival outcomes if properly treated with surgical resection and free margins followed by adjuvant radiotherapy for selected cases. Endoscopic-assisted surgery is safe and effective as an upfront treatment within a multidisciplinary care protocol.

Abstract
Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a rare recently described distinct spindle cell sarcoma which arises exclusively in the sinonasal region and is characterized by concomitant neural and myogenic differentiation. Before this neoplasm was characterized, most were classified as other entities including adult fibrosarcoma, monophasic synovial sarcoma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. By immunohistochemistry, these tumors characteristically express S100 and smooth muscle actin (SMA) and/or muscle specific actin (MSA). Most cases harbor rearrangements of PAX3 (paired box gene 3), and the most frequent translocation partner is MAML3 (mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 3). Herein, we described three cases of BSNS involving the nasal cavity with or without paranasal sinus involvement. We also did a literature review of the clinical features, histologic and immunophenotypic findings, cytogenetics, pathogenesis and behavior of this rare entity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To document a case of a biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma that impinged on the orbit via a tumor-induced mucocele and review the previous literature devoted to this condition. METHODS A clinicopathologic case report with detailed histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and radiological studies with tabulations of previously reported cases and immunohistochemical stains for ruling out mimicking lesions. RESULTS A biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma arose from the ethmoid sinus in a middle-aged man. The tumor induced a mucocele that bowed the medial orbital lamina papyracea into the orbit and caused diplopia and mild proptosis. The biopsy's dual positivity for S100 and smooth muscle actin together with positive paired box 3 immunohistochemical staining established the diagnosis of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma. CONCLUSION Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma, which can involve the orbit in 25% of cases, is a rare head and neck malignancy that has only recently been described. Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is a low-grade, locally aggressive, nonmetastasizing sarcoma displaying both neural and muscle differentiation. It is further characterized by rearrangements of the PAX3 gene with multiple fusion partners, most commonly MAML3 (Mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 3). It occurs predominantly in middle-aged women and exclusively in the sinonasal tract. However, it can spread throughout the central facial structures to invade the brain if not detected early. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this new entity to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. The previous literature devoted to this condition was reviewed and analyzed for clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features. In circumstances where molecular testing is not available, paired box 3 immunohistochemical staining can be used as an alternative diagnostic marker. The current case is most unusual because the orbital findings were induced by a mucocele caused by the tumor that obstructed the sinus ostium. This produced diplopia without direct tumor invasion into the orbital fat.

Abstract
Sinonasal biphenotypic sarcoma has recently been described and included in the 2017 WHO classification. It is a low-grade sarcoma which is characterized by PAX3 rearrangements. It remains a diagnostic challenge because of its scarcity, and its considerable histologic overlap with other cellular spindle cell neoplasms. The histologic features, the immunoprofile and the main differential diagnoses of sinonasal biphenotypic sarcoma are presented through a case.

Abstract
Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a recently recognized type of sarcoma arising exclusively in the sinonasal tract displaying unique clinical course, histopathology, and genetics. Due to its rarity, only case series and case reports are available. In order to provide an overview of the current understanding of this disease, we present a comprehensive review of the literature and present three previously unreported cases of BSNS. A total of 55 genetically characterized and 41 cases without molecular data were identified in the literature. Two-thirds of patients were female and the peak incidence was in the fifth decade. Fatal outcome was rare (two cases with intracranial extension) and local recurrence occurred in 31.6%, all occurring within 5 years after initial treatment. Histologically, BSNS is highly cellular in the majority of cases and composed of fascicles of spindle cells, with entrapped hyperplastic surface epithelium being a frequent finding. The immunohistochemical profile is characteristic due to the biphasic nature of this lesion, with shared features of both myogenic and neural origin. Rhabdomyoblastic differentiation is apparent in a subset of cases. The most common genetic event is the PAX3-MAML3 fusion (58.6%) but isolated PAX3 rearrangement (19.2%), absence of rearrangements (9.1%), PAX3-FOXO1 (8.1%), PAX3-NCOA1 (4%), and isolated MAML3 rearrangement (2%) have also been reported. In conclusion, the recognition of BSNS is crucial due to its relatively indolent clinical course. A selected immunohistochemical panel and/or molecular confirmation can be used to aid in appropriate diagnosis and consequently in prognostication and to avoid overtreatment with chemotherapy regimens used in its mimics.

Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma: A series of six cases with evaluation of role of β-catenin immunohistochemistry in differential diagnosis. Ann Diagn Pathol 2017; 33:6-10.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a recently described mesenchymal tumor exclusive to the sinonasal region. It is a low grade sarcoma, displaying evidence of myogenic and neural differentiation. Role of β-catenin immunohistochemistry in distinguishing it from its morphological mimics is not well-established. We conducted this study to identify cases of BSNS from our archives, and to examine immunopositivity for β-catenin in them as well as in its close differential diagnosis. METHODS All cases of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus mesenchymal neoplasms were identified. Histopathological features were reviewed. Cases showing smooth muscle actin (SMA) and S-100 immunopositivity, and typical morphology were reclassified as BSNS. β-catenin immunoexpression was assessed. RESULTS Twenty-one mesenchymal tumors, including 12 sinonasal hemangiopericytoma (SNHPC), five solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), three BSNS, and one synovial sarcoma were identified. Three SNHPC cases were reclassified as BSNS. BSNS patients included one male and five females, with mean age of 51years. Five BSNS cases (83.3%) showed nuclear β-catenin immunopositivity. SNHPC cases also were β-catenin positive (60%). CONCLUSION BSNS is a rare sinonasal neoplasm, frequently misdiagnosed as SNHPC and SFT. β-catenin immunopositivity is seen in majority of cases, indicating a role in pathogenesis. However, due to positivity in other tumors like SNHPC, it has limited role in differential diagnosis.
