Objectives/Hypothesis To explain the processes that lead to the development of tumors in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. Study Design A 32‐year review of the world's literature on neoplasms of these two sinuses and a randomized case‐controlled study comparing the normal mucosal architecture of the maxillary to the sphenoid sinus. Methods Analysis of a 32‐year world literature review reporting series of cases of maxillary and sphenoid sinus tumors. Tumors were classified by histological type and separated into subgroups if an individual incidence rate was reported. Histomorphometry of normal maxillary and sphenoid sinus mucosa was performed in 14 randomly selected patients (10 sphenoid and 4 maxillary specimens). Specimens were fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, and stained with periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) and hematoxylin. Histomorphometric analysis was performed with a Zeiss Axioscope light microscope (Carl Zeiss Inc., Thornwood, NY) mounted with a Hamamatsu (Hamamatsu Photonics, Tokyo, Japan) color‐chilled 3 charge coupled device digital camera. The images were captured on a 17‐inch Sony (Sony Corp., Tokyo, Japan) multiscan monitor and analyzed with a Samba 4000 Image Analysis Program (Samba Corp., Los Angeles, CA). Five random areas were selected from strips of epithelium removed from each sinus, and goblet and basal cell measurements were made at magnifications ×100 and ×400. Results The literature review revealed that the number and variety of tumors in the maxillary sinus are much greater than those in the sphenoid. The incidence of metastatic lesions to each sinus is approximately equal. No recognized pattern of spread from any particular organ system could be determined. On histomorphometric study there were no statistically significant differences between the sinuses in the concentration of goblet cells, basal cells, or seromucinous glands. Conclusions Factors involved in the pathogenesis of tumors of the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses include differences in nasal physiology, embryology, morphology, and topography. There are no significant histological differences in the epithelium and submucous glands between the two sinuses to explain the dissimilar formation of neoplasms.

“…ACC is an uncommon, biologically very aggressive and destructive malignant tumor (Pérusse, 1997Sequeiros Santiago et al, 2005, that frequently originates in the exocrine glands and is characterized by its high propensity to generate distant metastases (Pérusse;Lupinetti et al, 2007;Rhee et al, 2006;Osborn, 1977;González-García et al, 2006). It was described for the first time by Robin, Lorain and Laboulbene, in two articles published in 1853 and 1854 (Bradley, 2004).…”

“…Many patients present extension of the tumor into vital structures, such as the duramater, brain, orbit, carotid artery and cranial nerves. In addition, the tumor shows a tendency to infiltrate the perineural tissues (Pérusse;Gil;Rhee et al;Issing et al, 1999) and develop local post-treatment recurrence and late distant metastases (Lupinetti et al; Rhee et al; Osborn; González-García et al; Bradley).…”

We present the case of a patient, a 59 year-old man, with Sinonasal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. Magnetic resonance exam revealed invasion of the right orbit and brain at the level of the anterior cranial fossa floor. Due to the large volume, we decided to perform radio-chemotherapy treatment to diminish the size of the lesion. On conclusion of the first stage of treatment, reduction in tumor size was confirmed by computerized tomography exam and we decided to perform surgical resection with right ocular globe preservation. At present the patient is under periodic control and without major complications.
