Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Malignant tumors of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Malignant tumors of the pharynx - a rare disease. According to statistical data of the mid-20th century, obtained at the Leningrad Oncology Institute, out of 11,000 cases of malignant tumors of different locations, only 125 were pharyngeal tumors.

Benign tumors of the oropharynx and laryngopharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

In this area, tumors can sometimes develop from tissues that form the morphological basis of the organs of these anatomical formations: epithelium and connective tissue, for example, papillomas, epitheliomas, adenomas, fibromas, lipomas, chondromes, less often vascular tumors-angiomas, lymphomas.

Fibroma of the nasopharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fibroma of the nasopharynx is a fibrous tumor of dense consistency, characterized by significant bleeding, which is why it was called angiofibroma. This tumor has been known since the time of Hippocrates, who proposed the so-called transnazomedial approach by splitting the nose pyramid to remove this tumor.

Malignant tumors of the sphenoid sinus: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

These tumors are very rare and are represented by epitheliomas and sarcomas. Most often they occur in adults and equally often, as are malignant tumors of the remaining paranasal sinuses, in males and females.

Malignant tumors of the frontal sinus: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

These tumors occur very rarely and are much more often represented by epitheliomas. In the initial period, most often they occur under the guise of chronic pharyngitis, but with a timely performed trephine and fenal sinus and aspiration biopsy, the tumor can be recognized by histological examination.

Malignant tumors of the latticed bone: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

In the overwhelming majority of cases, these tumors belong to undifferentiated epitheliomas and originate from any one part of the latticed labyrinth. These tumors metastasize to distant bones and lungs.

Malignant tumors of the maxillary sinus: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Tumor lesions of the maxillary sinus are both in the competence of oral and maxillofacial surgeons (mainly), and with some clinical and anatomical variants, especially those dealing with maxillary-ethmoidal mixtures, to the competence of rhinologists.

Malignant neoplasm of the nose

According to modern data, malignant tumors of the nose are very rare in otolaryngology (0.5% of all tumors), with squamous cell carcinoma accounting for 80% of cases, and there is also an estezioneuroblastoma (from the olfactory epithelium).

Chondroma of the nose

Chondroma of the nose, in comparison with other localizations of cartilaginous tumors, the disease is extremely rare, since the cartilage of the nose has a much less pronounced proliferative capacity than the cartilage tissues of the epiphyses. There is a chondroma of the nose at all ages, but more often in young people.

Osteoma of the nasal cavity

Osteoma of the nasal cavity is a benign tumor that develops from bone tissue. The appearance of osteoma in the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon, most often this tumor develops primarily in the frontal and maxillary sinuses, in the latticed bone, and from here, increasing, penetrates into the nasal cavity.
