Sinonasal Undifferentiated Carcinoma Invading the Orbit

Abstract: Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is an infrequent tumor described by Frierson et al. in 1986. Since its initial description, fewer than 100 patients have been reported. We present a case of a SNUC invading the orbit in a 57-year-old woman, for which the findings are documented by CT scan, light and electron microscopy.

“…When all patients were classified using Kadish staging, 52 of 167 (31.1%) of the patients had disease contained within the sinuses, 35 of 167 (21.0%) had disease that invaded beyond the sinuses, and 65 of 167 (38.9%) had disease involving the apex of the orbit, the skull base, or the brain. 19 1990 Deutsch 3 1993 Kapadia 20 1993 Ascaso 21 1994 Gallo 22 1995 Leung 23 1995 Pitman 24 1995 Righi 4 1996 Houston 25 1998 Kerrebijn 5 1998 Gorelick 6 2000 Miyamoto 26 2000 Smith 7 2000 Sakamoto 27 2001 Sharara 15 Follow-up ranged from 1 to 195 months (mean 23.4 months, median 15 months).

“…Hence, the diagnosis of SNUC relies on examining tissue samples histopathologically, often involving immunohistochemical analysis. It is a highly aggressive neoplasm, with patients presenting to clinical attention at a very advanced stage, where fundamental structures of the skull base, brain, and orbit are already involved [ 9 ]. The initial symptoms of SNUC can seem harmless, like nasal blockage, nosebleeds, headaches, and facial discomfort.…”

“…The initial symptoms of SNUC can seem harmless, like nasal blockage, nosebleeds, headaches, and facial discomfort. However, they may also manifest as vision problems, swelling around the eyes, proptosis, and cranial nerve palsies [ 9 ]. Cervical lymph nodes are involved in 10–30% of patients at the time of clinical presentation.…”
