Abstract
OBJECTIVE Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB), also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is a rare, malignant tumor of neuroectodermal origin that arises from the olfactory neuroepithelium. In this study the authors present the first series in the literature on distant brain metastases (BMs) secondary to ENB that were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SRS for this indication. METHODS A retrospective analysis of clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with ENB who underwent CyberKnife (CK) SRS at a single center was conducted. The clinical and radiological outcomes of patients, including progression-free survival, overall survival, and local tumor control (LTC) were reported. RESULTS Between 2003 and 2022, 32 distant BMs in 8 patients were treated with CK SRS at Stanford University. The median patient age at BM diagnosis was 62 years (range 47-75 years). Among 32 lesions, 2 (6%) had previously been treated with surgery, whereas for all other lesions (30 [94%]), CK SRS was used as their primary treatment modality. The median target volume was 1.5 cm3 (range 0.09-21.54 cm3). CK SRS was delivered by a median marginal dose of 23 Gy (range 15-30 Gy) and a median of 3 fractions (range 1-5 fractions) to a median isodose line of 77% (range 70%-88%). The median biologically effective dose was 48 Gy (range 21-99.9 Gy) and the median follow-up was 30 months (range 3-95 months). The LTC at 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-up was 86%, 65%, and 50%, respectively. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 29 months (range 11-79 months) and 51 months (range 15-79 months), respectively. None of the patients presented adverse radiation effects. CONCLUSIONS In the authors' experience, SRS provided excellent LTC without any adverse radiation effects for BMs secondary to ENB.

Abstract
RATIONALE Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare, paraneoplastic syndrome featured with fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion primarily by benign mesenchymal tumors and sometimes by malignancies. TIO diagnosis and treatment is often delayed because TIO usually has nonspecific generalized bone pain and weakness, and location of TIO tumor is quite challenging. Very few TIO caused by sinonasal hemangiopericytoma have been reported in the literature. PATIENT CONCERNS A 40-year-old Chinese woman presented with diffuse bone pain for more than 1 year. Laboratory examination showed hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, hypocalcemia, an elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level and bone-specific ALP level. Imaging studies revealed low bone mineral density (BMD) and multiple pseudofractures at the ribs. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was negative in searching for tumors. Because no tumor was located, the patient was treated with oral phosphate, calcium, and alfacalcidol, and achieved great relief in her symptoms and improvement in BMD. Six years later, the patient had breast cancer surgery and received chemotherapy, and still had hypophosphatemia. During this time, nasopharyngo-fiberscope showed nasal mass in her left nasal cavity. Then she had her nasal polyps removed and surprisingly the serum phosphate became normal. DIAGNOSES AND INTERVENTIONS The patient had the nasal mass resected, and pathological diagnosis of the nasal mass was sinonasal hemangiopericytoma. Immunohistochemical analysis was positive for FGF23. Thus the final diagnosis was osteomalacia induced by sinonasal hemangiopericytoma. Phosphate supplementation and alfacalcidol were discontinued. OUTCOMES The patient had normal serum phosphate after 6-month follow-up. LESSONS By presenting this case, we hope to remind clinicians that in patients with osteomalacia with undetermined reason and intranasal polypoid mass, sinonasal hemangiopericytoma should be suspected.

Abstract
Nasal and sinonasal inverted papilloma (NSIP) is a benign tumor in which surface epithelial cells grow downward into the underlying supportive tissue with varying degrees of metaplasia. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been proposed as the causal agent in the pathogenesis of this disease. Many studies have shown that HPV can activate the Akt/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, but the role of this pathway in HPV-associated NSIP is largely unknown. In this study, we enrolled 40 control tissue samples and 80 NSIP tissue samples. HPV genotyping showed that 47 of the 80 examined cases of NSIP were HPV-positive (58.8%), and the most common subtype was HPV11 (20/53, 37.7%). The immunohistochemistry showed statistically significant differences in phosphorylated Akt and phosphorylated S6 ribosomal protein staining among control samples, HPV-positive NSIP and HPV-negative NSIP. The HPV11 L1-L2 plasmid increased the proliferation of normal human nasopharyngeal epithelial NP69-SV40T cells and human nasopharyngeal cancer CNE1 cells. Meanwhile, rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, reversed the increased cell proliferation induced by the HPV11 L1-L2 plasmid. Western blot analysis showed that Akt/mTOR/S6 were overexpressed in NP69-SV40T cells and CNE1 cells infected with the HPV11 L1-L2 plasmid. These data demonstrate that HPV promotes cell proliferation through the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in NSIP.

Abstract
We report a case of radiation-induced mucosal melanoma in a 41-year-old woman with a history of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma of the nasal cavity that had been treated with radiotherapy. During the workup for the melanoma, the patient was found to be negative for S-100 protein on immunostaining. While many melanotic markers for the histologic confirmation of melanoma exist, they can be negative in some cases, such as ours. To the best of our knowledge, only 1 case of radiation-induced melanoma has been previously reported in the English-language literature, and in that case the patient was S-100-positive. Although our case is rare, it suggests another possible long-term adverse effect of radiotherapy. We also describe the morphologies and histology associated with diagnosing melanoma in an S-100-negative patient.

Abstract
Nasal gliomas (nasal glial heterotopia) are rare benign congenital frontonasal lesions occurring in approximately 1:20.000-40,000 live births. The diagnosis is rarely reported prenatally. Nasal gliomas are typically isolated lesions, with syndromic association being exceedingly rare. Metopic craniosynostosis can occur as an isolated abnormality or in association with multiple syndromes. This case is the first reported case of nasal glioma in association with craniosynostosis in the published literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies of the effects of nasal snuff and environmental factors on the risk of nasal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the impact of using nasal snuff and of other risk factors on the risk of nasal cancer in German men. METHODS A population-based case-control study was conducted in the German Federal States of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Tumor registries and ear, nose and throat departments provided access to patients born in 1926 or later. RESULTS Telephone interviews were conducted with 427 cases (mean age 62.1 years) and 2.401 population-based controls (mean age 60.8 years). Ever-use of nasal snuff was associated with an odds ratio (OR) for nasal cancer of 1.45 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-2.38) in the total study population, whereas OR in smokers was 2.01 (95% CI 1.00-4.02) and in never smokers was 1.10 (95% CI 0.43-2.80). The OR in ever-smokers vs. never-smokers was 1.60 (95% CI 1.24-2.07), with an OR of 1.06 (95% CI 1.05-1.07) per pack-year smoked, and the risk was significantly decreased after quitting smoking. Exposure to hardwood dust for at least 1 year resulted in an OR of 2.33 (95% CI 1.40-3.91) in the total population, which was further increased in never-smokers (OR 4.89, 95% CI 1.92-12.49) in analyses stratified by smoking status. The OR for nasal cancer after exposure to organic solvents for at least 1 year was 1.53 (1.17-2.01). Ever-use of nasal sprays/nasal lavage for at least 1 month rendered an OR of 1.59 (1.04-2.44). The OR after use of insecticides in homes was 1.48 (95% CI 1.04-2.11). CONCLUSIONS Smoking and exposure to hardwood dust were confirmed as risk factors for nasal carcinoma. There is evidence that exposure to organic solvents, and in-house use of insecticides could represent novel risk factors. Exposure to asbestos and use of nasal snuff were risk factors in smokers only.

Abstract
National surveillance systems of occupational diseases may contribute to evaluate the work-related component of diseases investigated in SENTIERI Project. For a description of SENTIERI, refer to the 2010 Supplement of Epidemiology & Prevention devoted to SENTIERI Project. The National Workers Compensation Authority (INAIL) archives all occupational diseases claims (more than 230 000 in the period 2000-2007) and is in charge of their compensation. The Italian National Mesothelioma Register (ReNaM) and the Sinonasal Cancer Register (ReNaTuNS) record high occupational etiological fraction neoplasms (i.e. mesothelioma and sinonasal cancers). The former has identified more than 10 000 mesothelioma cases until now, and covers almost the whole country; the latter is active only in three Italian regions, Piemonte, Lombardia and Toscana. The monitoring of cancer sites at lower occupational etiological fraction is based on a record-linkage procedure between population-based cancer registries and employment history data, available at the Italian National Institute for Social Security (INPS). Finally, the informative system Mal.Prof collects and classifies all the diseases possibly related to the work environment reported by the Prevention Services of the Local Health Units.

Abstract
It is well known that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk of developing malignant lymphoma (ML) than the general population. Most of these lymphomas occur in patients receiving immunosuppressive (IS) agents such as methotrexate (MTX). Spontaneous regression of tumors is often observed after the discontinuation of IS drugs, especially in patients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive lymphoma. Here we encountered an RA patient who developed extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type during treatment of RA with MTX and etanercept. Despite the discontinuation of MTX and etanercept, the tumor did not show any regression. Complete response was achieved after treatment with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. ML of NK-cell origin is extremely rare, while the majority of ML cases associated with RA are of B-cell origin. This report describes extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type case associated with RA. Such cases should be accumulated to evaluate the mechanism of onset and clinical characteristics of NK/T-cell lymphoma associated with RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal cancer (SNC) includes uncommon tumours that are characterized by a high occupational etiologic component. For this reason they are an easy target for systematic surveillance by setting up a specific disease registry. The National Registry of these tumours is located at the Italian Institute for Occupational Safety and Prevention (ISPESL) and is based on data from Regional Operating Centres (ROCs). In the Lombardy Region a ROC was established in 2008 at the Clinica del Lavoro "Luigi Devoto" in Milan aimed at making surveillance systematic and thus provide adequate support for scientific research and prevention measures in the high risk work sectors. OBJECTIVES To estimate the incidence of SNC, to define different sources of occupational exposure both known (wood, leather, nickel, chromium) and unknown. METHODS The Registry collects all the new incident cases of epithelial SNC occurring among residents ofthe Lombardy Region. The Regional Registry is managed in accordance with the specific National Guidelines and uses the experience already acquired with the organizational and operational management of the Regional Mesothelioma Registry. RESULTS During the first period of activity (1.1.2008-30.9.2009) 556 cases of suspected SNC were reported to the Registry; only 62 (11.2%) of these actually complied with the inclusion criteria of the Registry and were mainly adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma. Occupational exposure to wood or leather dust was ascertained in 50% of cases. CONCLUSION Data collected up to now confirm that occupational exposure to wood and leather dusts are the most significant risk factors for SNC. The study of occupational sectors and job tasks in cases with as yet undefined exposure might suggest new etiologic hypotheses.

Abstract
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKT), is a distinct clinicopathologic disease, common among East Asia and Latin America population. Clinically, it frequently occurs in middle-aged men. It predominantly occurs in the nasal or paranasal areas and less frequently in the skin. The main clinical features are nasal congestion, sore throat, dysphagia and epistaxis, due to a destructive mass involving the midline facial tissues. The pathogenesis of ENKT remains uncertain. It is thought that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may play a role in the development of this entity. Pathologically, lymphoma cells exhibit angioinvasion, angiodestruction and coagulative necrosis. It has unique characteristics including the expression of cytoplasmic CD3, CD56 and cytotoxic molecules such as TIA-1, and is positive for EBV in situ hybridization. The overall prognosis of this disease is poor because of frequent relapse or resistance to treatment. Although several studies have explored the treatment of ENKL in recent years, the optimal therapy has still not been found. Due to the highly aggressive features of tumors, every endeavor has been made to investigate factors associated with poor outcome. In this review, the recent advances on cause and pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and staging, pathologic characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of ENKL are summarized.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this case report is to emphasize the importance of an early diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome through the detection of lesions appearing in the oral and maxillofacial area as well as to present two cases of the disease. BACKGROUND Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by gastrointestinal polyps that develop in the colon as well as in the stomach and upper intestine, along with multiple osteomas, skin, and soft tissue tumors. Cutaneous findings may include desmoid tumors, epidermoid cysts, and other benign tumors. Early diagnosis and therapy of the disease are critical because polyps have a 100% risk of undergoing malignant transformation. Craniomaxillofacial manifestations (osteoma formation, tooth impaction, diffuse opacities in the skull, mandible and maxilla, scalp tumors) usually precede polyposis. REPORT Case 1: Gardner's syndrome was diagnosed in a 25-year-old Caucasian man who was referred by his endodontist for evaluation of an uncommon radiographic image in the mandibular molar area. Further investigation revealed a familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) complicated by adenocarcinoma of the colon. A colectomy and an ileorectal anastomosis were performed. Case 2: A 12-year-old Caucasian girl, who is a niece of the patient described in Case 1, presented with progressive difficulty with mouth opening but no complaints of digestive problems. Radiographic examination revealed multiple radiopacities in the maxilla, mandible left temporomandibular joint, and in the left mandibular angle. Multiple impacted teeth were present. A colonoscopy was suggested, but the patient's parents decided to continue the investigation and treatment with their own physician in their home town. SUMMARY Since an early diagnosis is essential and general dental practitioners may be the first healthcare professionals to suspect the diagnosis, it is important for them to be familiar with the features of Gardner's syndrome.

Abstract
Persistent canine nasal disease is a common complaint in small animal practice; however, an etiologic diagnosis can be difficult to establish. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the percentage of cases for which the etiology was determined in our hospital population. Medical records from 80 dogs met the criteria of inclusion in the study. Nonspecific rhinitis was identified in 23.7% of cases. Other diagnoses were neoplasia (15.0%), fungal infection (nasal aspergillosis) (8.7%), cleft palate (8.7%), periodontal disease (4.0%), parasites (1.3%), foreign body (1.3%), and primary bacterial disease (1.3%). A definitive diagnosis could not be established in 36.3% of cases. Dogs with neoplastic and mycotic diseases often presented with severe radiographic and rhinoscopic lesions. Despite a systematic approach, numerous cases went undiagnosed. The use of advanced imaging should increase our ability to obtain an etiologic diagnosis in canine nasal disease.

Abstract
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder characterized by developmental anomalies and occurrence of multiple basal cell carcinomas and other tumors in early childhood. In this article, the authors report a case of a 19-year-old African American male with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and a history of medulloblastoma at age 2, meningioma at age 14, thyroid follicular adenomas with papillary carcinoma at age 15, and 2 basal cell carcinomas at ages 16 and 18. Recently, he developed sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). The radiology and pathology of the sinonasal carcinoma are presented in this report. Review of the literature reveals that this is the first case of SNUC occurring in a patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

Abstract
We present a rare case of atypical cellular neurothekeoma arising in the area of a previous nose piercing on the ala of a 34-year-old female. Neurothekeoma is a benign tumour of probable nerve sheath origin. The cell of origin for neurothekeoma is still unknown but most ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies have favoured the Schwann cell perineurium or fibroblasts. A similar but distinct, more cellular variant with a less prominent myxoid component, was termed cellular neurothekeoma and, unlike myxoid neurothekeoma, the cellular variety generally lacks immunoreactivity to most neuronal markers. Atypical cellular neurothekeoma is characterised by the following features: large size of up to 6 cm, penetration into subcutaneous fat and or muscle, diffusely infiltrating borders, vascular invasion, a high mitotic rate and marked cytological pleomorphism. In this report we provide a review of the relevant literature and describe the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features of an atypical cellular neurothekeoma excised from the ala nasi of a 34-year-old female, a hitherto unreported lesion in the plastic surgery literature.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The occupational exposure to wood dust, classified by IARC as carcinogenic certain may determine the onset of epithelial tumors of the mass graves and nasal sinuses. The symptoms of these malignancies are aspecific (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea), the diagnosis is often delayed. CLINICAL CASE Worker of 59 years occupied, from 1960 to 2005, in carpentry (construction of coffins), who died in 2006 for a nasal adenocarcinoma of the mass graves extended to the cranial base, initially considered intracranial cancer given the wide cranial fossae prior to the histological diagnosis. The case is emblematic to late diagnosis and long survival (the worker has survived for more than three years after TAC diagnosis of intracranial mass occurred in 2003). CONCLUSION Extending the cranial base of a cancer of the nose and sinuses occurred in a worker exposed to wood dust is a serious critical in the system of health surveillance in the company. This rare neoplasm is a "sentinel event" that highlights a problem of underestimation of this occupational tumor and consequent failure of occupational disease complaint is therefore required a careful accounting and reporting of cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Midline congenital nasal lesions are rare, occurring in one out of every 20,000-40,000 births. Of these midline lesions, nasal dermoids are the most common. This review centers on diagnosis of nasal dermoids, the role of imaging in diagnosis and surgical planning and the various approaches to surgical management of these lesions. RECENT FINDINGS Multiplanar, high-resolution thin section magnetic resonance imaging allows for excellent soft tissue detail, particularly when intracranial extension is expected. Open rhinoplasty is favored by many authors for excision of dermoids. Transnasal endoscopic excision of nasal dermoids has been reported but is not recommended for dermoids extending into or beyond the falx cerebri. SUMMARY Imaging of the midface and brain is essential for accurate diagnosis, assessment for any intracranial extension and appropriate surgical planning. Any surgical approach for removal of nasal dermoid cysts should permit adequate access, allow repair of the skull base and cerebrospinal fluid leak, facilitate nasal reconstruction and result in acceptable cosmesis. The head and neck surgeon should be able to consider various surgical approaches to manage these lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wood dust exposure is strongly associated with the induction of cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (NSC), mainly among furniture production workers. Only limited information is available on wood dust exposure in other industrial sectors, including agriculture. NSC's are defined as "high occupational aetiology fraction" neoplasms, and are therefore indicated as sentinel tumours in occupational medicine. OBJECTIVES The report concerns two cases of NSC that occurred in two poultry breeders and the investigations performed in order to define their occupational exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS Epidemiological surveillance of NSC within the framework of routine activity of the Cancer Registry of the Province of Brescia (one million inhabitants) identified the two cases. Initially the first NSC case was considered as "probably exposed to formaldehyde" during shed tile disinfecting operations. After discovery of a similar case and further investigation in the sector formaldehyde exposure was found to be at a very low level. However, the observation that hard and soft wood dust was present, followed by dust monitoring, revealed a high level of exposure. The 23 personal and area air samples, performed in a turkey breeding shed, gave concentrations of between 1.3 and 2.3 mg/mc during low dust exposure jobs and concentrations of between 4 and 43.2 mg/mc during litter replacement (100% exceeded the ACGH TLV limit of 1 mg/cm and 25% were even above the legal limits (5 mg/mc according to Italian D.Lgs. 66/2000)). Since breeders are not aware of this type of risk and the use ofpersonal protection is not scrupulous, the local health and safety unit has started an information campaign for the entire work category as regards the necessity of controlling this cancer risk. The two cases of NSC described here were reported to the National Labour Insurance Institute (INAIL) for compensation. CONCLUSION NSC epidemiological surveillance performed through a population registry proved to be of great use in the identification of cases among employees in similar sectors, and thus the identification of previously unknown wood dust exposures with consequent implementation of preventive measures.

Abstract
An otherwise well 70-year-old man presented with a non-specific complaint of epistaxis caused by an underlying necrotic natural killer-cell lymphoma complicated by a maggot infestation. He failed to attend for treatment after discharge but re-presented 3 weeks later with an acute exacerbation of his chronic pulmonary obstructive disease. During those 3 weeks his nasal condition had advanced rapidly with extensive tumour infiltration and necrosis affecting his nose and face. The natural clinical course, overall prognosis, and available treatment modalities are briefly discussed.

Abstract
A 40-year-old previously healthy lady presented with nasal obstruction and localized plaques over the right arm. She developed complete nasal obstruction due to a mass in the right nasal cavity and skin lesions that ulcerated to present as ecthyma gangrenosum like lesions. Patient's condition deteriorated fast and she developed icterus with fatal outcome within 4 weeks of developing skin lesions. Nasal and skin biopsy revealed angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, which on immuno-phenotyping revealed CD-3 positive; and CD-20, CD-30, ALK and EMA negativity. She was seronegative for HIV. Final diagnosis of CD-3 positive extranodal T-cell lymphoma of nasal type was made. Extranodal T-cell lymphomas are very aggressive NHLs with poor prognosis. Prognosis depends on histology, stage of the disease and sites of involvement. NK/T cell lymphoma of nasal type is common with EBV association. Skin involvement is rare and is also an indicator of poor prognosis.

Abstract
In Japan, EBV positive rate in immunocompetent patients with nodal lymphomas is less than 10% in B-cell and 20-50% in T cell lymphoma. Among extranodal lymphomas, EBV positive rate is higher in pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL), nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, and adrenal lymphoma. PAL is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that develops from chronic pyothorax resulted from artificial pneumothorax for the treatment of lung tuberculosis or tuberculous pleuritis. This disease was originally described by Dr. Aozasa as a distinctive clinicopathologic entity in 1987, and now listed as the disease entity in the WHO classification of Tumours, Pathology & Genetics, Tumours of the Lung, Pleura, Thymus and Heart (2004).

Abstract
A 49-year-old female, who had undergone irradiation at six years of age as a treatment for a cutaneous nasal hemangioma, developed later a devastating basal cell carcinoma requiring sub-amputation of the nose and subsequent reconstruction with a pre-expanded forehead flap. Basal cell carcinomas are now frequently reported as late sequelae of previous low-dose irradiations after 10-20 years, and patients should be aware of this possible evolution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We discuss a case of 65 year old men with inverted papilloma of the right nose cavity. During childhood he had an operation of skin face transplantation prior to face haemangioma. He has no medical documentation from that time. For several months prior to hospitalisation he complained of right nasal cavity obstruction. METHOD In endoscopic examination we found red, fragile tumor filing posterior part of right nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Because of skin transplantation and residual haemangioma we choose sublabial and transplant technique of operation to avoid external facial incision. RESULTS We observed one recovery of the tumor after 3 months of observation which was sucessfully operated. Follow up for 10 months determine no recurrence in our patient. CONCLUSIONS Authors discuss various operation methods of inverted papilloma of the nose.

Abstract
The sino-nasal inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumour with certain aggressive features because of frequent relapses and the high probability of malignant degeneration. For these reasons, several studies have been made to evaluate the efficacy of the different courses of treatment, but only afew studies have been carried out to establish the etiology of this tumour, which is still uncertain. Although it is believed that viral infection, chronic inflammation and cigarette smoking can play an important etiological role, it has recently been suggested that occupational risk factors, such as those involved in malignant epithelial sino-nasal cancer (SNC), can also be involved in causing sino-nasal inverted papilloma. A group of 70 patients was examined who have been diagnosed with inverted papilloma from 1991 to 2003; the occupational history, collected via the standardized questionnaire, showed that risk factors like wood and leather dusts, chromium and nickel vapours or fumes and formaldehyde were associated with only 5% of all cases. This proportion is much lower than that established for SNC in several epidemiological studies. Although occupational environmental pollution can be a source of chronic sino-nasal mucosa irritation, on the basis of our results we believe that a causal relationship between exposure to occupational risk factors and inverted papilloma is not likely, differently from the suggestions made in other studies. Consequently, an epidemiological surveillance of inverted papilloma as a "sentinel" tumour, as has been proposed in Italy for SNC, is not considered necessary. Among the possible non-occupational risk factors we observed that 75% of the male patients were smokers and 40% of all patients suffered from chronic sinusitis and sino-nasal polyps. Lastly, among the 70 cases of inverted papilloma, we observed 5 with malignant degeneration.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine occupational exposure in Croatian wood processing industry and forest workers to harmful effects of wood dust on the risk of nose, nasal cavity and lung carcinoma. Mass concentrations of respirable particles and total wood dust were measured at two wood processing plants, three woodwork shops, and one lumbering site, where 225 total wood dust samples and 221 respirable particle samples were collected. Wood dust mass concentration was determined by the gravimetric method. Mass concentrations exceeding total wood dust maximal allowed concentration (MAC, 3 mg/m3) were measured for beechwood and oakwood dust in 38% (79/206) of study samples from wood processing facilities (plants and woodwork shops). Mass concentrations of respirable particles exceeding MAC (1 mg/m3) were recorded in 24% (48/202) of samples from wood processing facilities (mean 2.38 +/- 2.08 mg/m3 in plants and 3.6 +/- 2.22 mg/m3 in woodwork shops). Thus, 13% (27/206) of work sites in wood processing facilities failed to meet health criteria according to European guidelines. Launching of measures to reduce wood dust emission to the work area is recommended.

Abstract
A case of spontaneous malignant lymphoma in a Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) was pathologically, etiologically and virologically studied. Nasal cavity was involved in the neoplastic lesions in addition to lymphoid and visceral tissues. Histopathological analyses revealed the presence of neoplastic cells classified into histiocytic Hodgkin-like cells and Reed-Sternberg-like cells. Histiocytic Hodgkin-like cells were CD16+ and CD20+, and the CD16+ cells were also positive for simian Epstein-Barr virus (sEBV)-encoded early RNA transcripts. RS-like cells were negative for CD3, CD16 and CD20. Antibodies to early antigen of sEBV were detected, while antibodies to simian T-cell leukemia virus-1 were negative. The case may correspond to EBV-associated nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma in humans rather than Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many children diagnosed with retinoblastoma (Rb) survive into adulthood and are prone to subsequent cancers, particularly hereditary patients, who have germline Rb-1 mutations. We have extended the follow-up of a large cohort of Rb patients for 7 more years to provide new information on the risk of additional cancers after radiotherapy in long-term survivors. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the risk of new cancers through 2000 in 1,601 Rb survivors, diagnosed from 1914 to 1984, at two US medical centers. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was calculated as the ratio of the observed number of cancers after hereditary and nonhereditary Rb to the expected number from the Connecticut Tumor Registry. The cumulative incidence of a new cancer after hereditary and nonhereditary Rb and radiotherapy was calculated with adjustment for competing risk of death. RESULTS Subsequent cancer risk in 963 hereditary patients (SIR, 19; 95% CI, 16 to 21) exceeded the risk in 638 nonhereditary Rb patients (SIR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.7 to 2.0). Radiation further increased the risk of another cancer in hereditary patients by 3.1-fold (95% CI, 2.0 to 5.3). Hereditary patients continued to be at significantly increased risk for sarcomas, melanoma, and cancers of the brain and nasal cavities. The cumulative incidence for developing a new cancer at 50 years after diagnosis of Rb was 36% (95% CI, 31% to 41%) for hereditary and 5.7% (95% CI, 2.4% to 11%) for nonhereditary patients. CONCLUSION Hereditary Rb predisposes to a variety of new cancers over time, with radiotherapy further enhancing the risk of tumors arising in the radiation field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Naso-sinusal cancers (NSC) cover a group of rare tumours in Italy for which the role of occupational risk has been established. The systematic survey of NSC in the province of Brescia made it possible to analyse the jobs of the cases occurring in the area. OBJECTIVES The aims of the research were: estimation of epithelial NSC incidence both in the general population and among wood and leather workers, description of the frequency and type of occupational exposure to substances or manufacturing processes. METHODS The epithelial type cases were obtained from the Naso-sinusal Cancer Register (population-based) operating in the Province of Brescia since 1994. Work histories were obtained via a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS The annual incidence ofepithelial NSC (for 100,000) in the entire population (1,090,000 inhabitants, ISTAT census 1991) from 1993 to 1997 and from 1998 to 2002 was nearly the same, 0.82 and 0.90 for men, 0.37 and 0.37 for women, respectively. The nasal cavity was the most affected anatomic site (45%) and squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent histotype (44%) among the first 100 cases whose case histories were appropriate; in the ethmoidal sinus adenocarcinoma represented 62% of the cases; 25% of all cases were exposed to occupational carcinogens (list A) and particularly to wood dust (17%), even if only of softwood species (30%), and leather dusts (7%) especially in the shoe repair. The average latency period was 47 years (SD 7.4) and 44 years (SD 5.6) respectively; 71% of these epithelial NSC cases involved the ethmoid and 85% were adenocarcinomas. Only 1% of the cases was exposed to chromium and nickel and occurred in galvanization processes. Among the exposures to occupational risks with limited epidemiological evidence (list B) there was one case exposed to formaldehyde and 42 cases occurring in the building, agricultural, metallurgic and textile sectors. Thus all the exposures to occupational risks, both certain and probable (lists A and B) reached 84% among men and 17% among women. Epithelial NSC annual incidence rates (for 100,000) estimated among the wood and leather workers for the period 1985-2002 were 13 and 6.5 respectively. CONCLUSION The results confirm the meaning of sentinel event for these tumours in occupational health and justify maintaining an active surveillance programme for the cases occurring in the area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review epidemiologic data on cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses in Turkey. PATIENTS AND METHODS The epidemiologic findings were obtained from the following sources: Cancer Registry (1995 to 1999) of the Department of Cancer Control of the Ministry of Health; records of Izmir Cancer Registry (1993-1994); Prof. Dr. Nazmi Bilir's review in 1977, in which the findings of pathology laboratories were collected; records of cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses from 1964 to 2000 at the Otolaryngology Department of Medicine Faculty of Hacettepe University. RESULTS During the above-mentioned years, cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses were detected in 127 patients (85 males, 42 females; mean age 47 years; range 1-89 years) in Hacettepe University, of whom 14 were children. The male to female ratio was 2.02. In Nazmi Bilir's review, cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses were reported in 65 males and 37 females, with a frequency of 0.7% in males and 0.6% in females among all cancers. Its incidence was 0.4/100.000 for males and 0.2/100.000 for females, which was the same as that found in Izmir Cancer Registry. According to the Cancer Registry of the Ministry of Health, cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses were most commonly encountered at the ages of 50 to 70 years, and were most common in the Marmara region followed by the Middle Anatolia region. CONCLUSION Registry systems in our country need to be improved in order to derive more accurate epidemiologic data concerning cancers of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

Abstract
Inverted papilloma (IP) is a primarily benign epithelial neoplasm with a propensity to transform to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Neither the etiology of IP nor the factors responsible for malignant transformation are fully known to date. A considerable number of histopathological grading systems have been suggested. It was the aim of this study to find histological parameters in IP that allow a prognosis concerning the occurrence of malignant transformation. In a group of 93 cases of IP, the patients' records, histological specimens and a questionnaire were evaluated. Thirteen patients had suffered a recurrence of a previously treated IP. SCC in the IP had been diagnosed in 12 of the cases. The histological specimen showed increased counts of mitosis and dyscariosis in the IP. All other histological parameters did not show a significant difference between the groups. History and symptoms proved to be nonspecific as well. Patients in the group with SCC were significantly older at the first diagnosis of IP than patients without carcinoma. This group also included a higher portion of male patients. Patients fulfilling the named histological criteria combined with male gender and higher age are a high-risk group in the necessary long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Sinonasal carcinomas are usually of the squamous cell or transitional cell type. Adenocarcinomas of the inner nose and the paranasal sinus correlate with exposure to wood dust. However, this is only true for adenocarcinomas of the intestinal type and not for salivary gland carcinomas or polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas. Of 160 cases with a history of wood dust exposure and malignant tumors of the inner nose, 134 were sinonasal adenocarcinomas of the intestinal type (SNAIT). In addition, there were 24 other carcinomas as well as 1 malignant melanoma and 1 malignant synovial tumor. The SNAIT showed various subtypes with great morphological similarities to colorectal adenocarcinomas (papillary tubular cylinder cell: 72.4%; alveolar goblet cell: 5.2%; signet ring cell: 3.7%; transitional type: 18.7%). Highly differentiated adenocarcinomas (G1) and mucinous adenocarcinomas were relatively frequent: they accounted for 23.1% and 29.1% of the 134 SNAIT, respectively. Apart from wood dust, wood additives are discussed as a carcinogenic factor. With the development of SNAIT, a metaplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma in situ sequence is probable. If the clinical course shows few symptoms, the first manifestation of such a tumor often occurs in an advanced stage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aetiology of inverted papillomas is still not known. Current thinking favours a viral agent in particular OBJECTIVE To widen viral research to "Human Herpes Viridae n 8" (HHV 8). MATERIAL AND METHOD 14 patients were included in a prospective study over a 38 months period. The average age was 49.6 years. The technique used is the PCR. RESULTS No samples revealed the presence of HHV n8. CONCLUSION The virus "human herpes viridae" was found in no samples, but as long as the etiopathogeny of the inverted papilloma is unknown. Further viral research is needed.

Abstract
Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) presenting as an Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV)-related nasal plasmacytoma developed in a renal-allograft recipient 13 years after transplantation. Systemic dissemination occurred despite immunosuppression withdrawal, surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy. A nonmyeloablative hematopoietic-stem-cell-transplantation (HSCT) with peripheral blood HSC from the kidney donor was performed. With the onset of graft-versus-host disease, resolution of the systemic disease was demonstrated clinically and molecularly by serial quantification of plasma EBV-DNA. Isolated relapse occurred in the central nervous system (CNS), a known tumour sanctuary site, ultimately leading to death. Nonmyeloablative HSCT might be considered a cellular therapy for PTLD, but possible CNS relapse must be effectively tackled.
