section findings or final surgical staging (p>0.05 Cohen's Kappa) with a tendency for upstaging patients preoperatively. Conclusions: Although there is a tendency to preoperatively upstage patients using either ultrasound of MRI, our results favour the agreement between these two exams. Preoperative TVS might reasonably be proposed as a method for staging early endometrial cancer, especially if performed by a gynecologist with advanced ultrasound skills.
RESUMELes carcinomes hybrides sont des tumeurs rares représentant moins de 0,1% des tumeurs des glandes salivaires. Un seul cas de carcinome hybride nasosinusien a été rapporté à ce jour. Nous rapportons le cas d'une patiente âgée de 56 ans présentant une tumeur à double contingent carcinomateux épithélial-myoépithélial et adénoïde kystique développée au niveau de la fosse nasale droite, dont l'exérèse par voie de Caldwell-Luc s'est soldée par une récidive au terme de deux ans d'évolution. Une deuxième chirurgie a été réalisée par voie de Rouge Denker avec une exérèse emportant la récidive localisée mais respectant les structures ostéocartilagineuses des fosses nasales, complétée d'une radiothérapie du lit tumoral et des aires ganglionnaires cervicales. Nous ne disposant pas dʼassez de recul pour parler de lʼévolution. Il s'agit du deuxième cas de tumeur hybride à localisation nasale rapporté à ce jour. Les tumeurs hybrides carcinomateuses à localisation naso-sinusienne sont possibles bien qu'exceptionnelles. Leur prise en charge thérapeutique et leur pronostic sont corolaires du contingent le plus agressif. Mots-clé : Carcinome; hybride; tumeurs fosses nasales.
SUMMARYHybrid carcinoma is a rare neoplasm, accounting for less than 0.1% of all registered tumors in salivary glands. Up to now, only one case of hybrid carcinoma of the nasal cavity has been described. In this report, we describe a case of hybrid carcinoma composed of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with an adenoid cystic carcinoma component occurring in the nasal cavity in a 56-year-old woman. Caldwell-Luc means resection was performed and the patient revisited because of the tumor recurrence within two years of evolution. A second surgery was accomplished by means of Red Denker and a adjuvant radiation therapy is envisaged. We have not enough detachment to speak about actual evolution. It is in our knowledge the second case of hybrid tumor of the nasal cavity described in the literature. Hybrid carcinoma of the nasal cavity is possible although rare. Therefore recognition of other component that is more aggressive and has a worse prognosis has therapeutic and prognostic ramifications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
