In appearance. The skin is coarse and pitted, and has an oily appearance due to
the excessive secretion of the sebaceous material, and it is red or blue in
color due to vascular engorgement. Treatment consists in shaving off the excess
tissue to trim the nose to suitable size. Sufficient epithelial elements should
remain, so that skin grafting is not required.
Malignant tumours of the nose
Malignant tumours developing primarily in the sinuses usually originate in the
maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses, while primary nasal tumours arise more
frequently from the septum than from the lateral wall.
Pathology. The most common tumour is the squamous-cell carcinoma, which accounts
for 80% of the cases. Adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and transitional
carcinoma, various types of sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, myxosarcoma, lymphosarcoma
and melanomas may also be found. The sarcomas tend to occur in younger people
and they act in a very malignant fashion.
Site of origin. Malignant tumours arise in the maxillary sinus, the ethmoidal
sinus, the frontal sinus and the sphenoidal sinus in that order of frequency,
the latter two being very rare. The site of origin within the sinus is often
difficult to determine as these tumours do not give rise to symptoms until they
have broken out of the bony sinus of origin. The majority arise at the junction
of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. An exception to this is the
adenocarcinoma which is found in the ethmoidal cells of woodworkers in whom the
disease may be discovered early because, in certain areas, these workers are
screened at regular intervals for this tumour.
Symptoms. The presenting symptom depends upon the direction of spread of the
tumour. Inferior spread will give rise to symptoms in the palate-swelling or
erosion, loosening of teeth or, if the patient is edentulous, widening of the
alveolar ridge giving rise to ill-fitting dentures. Lateral spread will give
rise to swelling and redness of the cheek with obliteration of the buccal
sulcus. If the tumour spreads upwards and laterally it will give rise to eye
symptoms, epiphora from blockage of the nasolacrimal duct, diplopia due to
fixation of the inferior oblique or the inferior rectus muscle, and proptosis
with lateral displacement of the globe. Tumours spreading medially give rise to
nasal obstruction with an offensive purulent serosanguineous discharge from the
nose. Posterior spread towards the pterygoid plates causes spasm of the
masticatory muscles with trismus, and spread to the base of the skull causes
Intense headaches. In later disease pain is a prominent feature. Spread to lymph
nodes occurs late.
Clinical features. Anterior rhinoscopy shows invasion of the nasal cavity by a
friable granular tumour mass which bleeds readily.
Radiographic examination, including tomography, is important in assessing the
extent of the tumour before contemplating treatment. The most important areas to
assess are the superior spread to the anterior cranial fossa and the posterior
spread to the pterygoid plates which, if involved, means that curative surgical
removal is impossible.
Biopsy should be carried out under general or local anaesthetic.
Treatment. The best results are obtained from the combination of a full course
of external irradiation followed by radical surgery. The latter consists at the
