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.

DIC is a disorder of coagulation that is demonstrated to occur in many settings. In view of the fulminant nature of the disorder once it is fully activated, the potential for considerable morbidity and mortality, and the difficulty in treating this syndrome, the necessity for a thorough understanding of the disorder is clear. A high index of suspicion is absolutely essential; however, this requires a thorough knowledge of the medical and surgical disorders in which DIC is likely to occur. The presenting manifestations of DIC, the time course of development of the fulminant syndrome, and the specific complications of the disorder may be intrinsically related to the specific clinical characteristics of the underlying disease. Clinical evaluation of the patient must be comprehensive and consider not only the laboratory and clinical manifestations of DIC but the triggering illness. Without the ability to treat the underlying primary illness, controlling or abating the DIC may be difficult or impossible. This comprehensive review of the disease entities in which DIC is likely to occur and the associated clinical manifestations will, it is hoped, guide a more precise definition of the overall clinical picture that confronts the clinician when evaluating a patient with possible DIC.
