“…The incidence of reported positive nodes in SCCNV is depicted in Table I. [4][5][6]11,12,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]31,34,35 CONCLUSION SCCNV cancer is an uncommon isolated form of cancer, possibly originating in the mucocutaneous junction and is usually smoking induced. The incidence of synchronous or delayed regional metastases is higher than 20% in about half of the reported series.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13] Direct insult of tobacco smoke on nasal mucosa in the region of the mucocutaneous junction is a reasonable hypothesis that may well explain the increased incidence of nasal cancer in smokers, suggested or reported. In a previous report, we found 9 of 11 patients with SCCNV to be exposed to cigarette smoke with a history of a mean of 103 pack-years.…”

“…They display a natural history similar to that of skin cancers and their prognosis is more favorable compared with other cancers of the nasal cavity (9). Nasal vestibular carcinomas are often located in the nasal floor, the nasal dome, the medial crus of the lower lateral cartilage and the inner lining of the alar wing (lateral crus), and account for <3.8% of all nasal mucosal tumors and 1% of all malignant tumors of the head and neck (10)(11)(12). Human papillomavirus infection and smoking are considered to be risk factors (12).…”

Abstract. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasal vestibule is a rare tumor entity, and its occurrence combined with lung cancer is even rarer. Thus, several patients are often initially misdiagnosed or remain undiagnosed. This is the case report of a 55-year-old male patient who presented to our hospital with a neoplasm in the left lung. The patient was treated with left upper pulmonary lobectomy and the subsequent histopathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed a poorly differentiated SCC. On postoperative week 4, the patient presented with purulent and bloody discharge from the left nostril and was misdiagnosed with an upper jaw cyst. After another 3 weeks, the patient was re-admitted to the hospital with a mass of left nostril and nasal congestion. Tru-Cut biopsies from the nasal area and histopathological examination revealed a moderately differentiated SCC. According to the clinical presentation and the histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with double primary cancer of the lung and the nasal vestibule. The mass of the left nostril was significantly reduced in size with radiotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, there is no similar case previously reported in the literature. Due to the rarity of SCC of the nasal vestibule concomittant with lung cancer, we herein present this case report with a review of the relevant literature and investigation of the clinical characteristics. IntroductionMultiple primary cancers are defined as ≥2 separate original cancers, simultaneously or successively occurring in the same or different organs. Double primary cancer is the most common type of multiple primary cancer and it is classified as synchronous carcinoma (SC) and metachronous carcinoma (MC). SC is used to describe the second primary tumor when it is diagnosed simultaneously or within 6 months of the diagnosis of the first primary tumor. MC is is used to describe the second cancer when it is diagnosed >6 months after the first primary cancer (1). The first double primary cancer was reported in 1889 by Billroth (2), whose standard of the diagnosis was that each tumor should have a different localization and independent histological appearance. In 1932, Warren and Gates established new criteria, which are still applied today: i) Both cancers must be definitively malignant according to the histopathological examination; ii) the cancers must be histologically different; and iii) it must be established that the second cancer is not a metastatic lesion of the first (3). The incidence of multiple primary cancers appears to have increased significantly. Approximately 10% of cancer patients develop another primary cancer within 10 years of the first surgery (4). However, double primary cancer of the lung and nasal vestibule is uncommon. We herein describe an extremely rare case of synchronous double primary cancer involving the left nasal vestibule and the left lung, with a review of the literature.

“…Jeannon et al [10] reported that patients with Wang T1 tumors had a 5-year overall survival of 72 %, compared with 45 % for those with T2 and 32 % with those with T3 (p = 0.0098). Kummer et al [2] reported that all of three patients with tumors classified as T3 according to the Wang system died from the disease (2, local; 1, distant). Agger et al reported that T2 and T3 Wang tumors had poor prognoses, with a 5-year disease-specific survival of 63 and 39 % and an overall survival of 43 and 0 %, respectively [1].…”

“…Agger et al reported the annual incidence as 0.32 per 100,000 habitants in Denmark [1]. However, it has a significant impact on the quality of life, even in early localized disease, when treated surgically [2]. Therefore, despite the existing belief that more advanced tumors are best treated with primary surgery and radiotherapy, radiotherapy is often given instead of surgery [3].…”

Rapid superselective high-dose cisplatin infusion with concomitant radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule: a report of two cases

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule (SCC-NV) is rare among head and neck malignancies. It behaves differently from cancers arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and skin cancer of the external nose. Prognosis is more favorable than nasal cavity tumors and less favorable than skin cancers. We experienced two cases of SCC-NV who were treated with rapid superselective high-dose cisplatin infusion with concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT). A 56-year-old male and a 68-year-old female with SCC-NV, classified as T4aN0M0 according to UICC and T2 according to Wang classification, were given superselective intra-arterial infusions of cisplatin, with simultaneous intravenous infusions of thiosulfate to neutralize cisplatin toxicity, together with conventional radiotherapy. In both cases, the internal maxillary artery and the facial artery were considered to be feeders of the tumor. No serious adverse events have been observed in either patient to date during follow-up of 7.3 and 5.3 years, respectively. Both patients are alive without disease and show excellent cosmetic results. RADPLAT is considered to be useful for the treatment of patients with SCC of the nasal vestibule.

T stage as prognostic factor in irradiated localized squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule

Abstract: The effect of radiotherapy is significantly correlated with T stage (p =.0001) and hence less successful in T3 lesions as primary treatment option. The high incidence of second primary tumors in the lung is indicative for a similar carcinogenic influence of smoking on the nasal vestibule.
