• Sneezing

  She mentioned having eliminated a reddish mass from this nostril about 1 year ago during a sneezing crisis. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

  Every time the patient sneezes, air is forced through the defect into the intra-cranial space, and remains trapped there. At a certain moment the amount of air is sufficient to cause mass effect on the surrounding intra-cranial structures. [radiologyassistant.nl]

• Hyposmia

  [1] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Esthesioneuroblastoma frequently first presents as a nasal mass. [10] The most common signs and symptoms of esthesioneuroblastoma are nasal obstruction (70%) and epistaxis (50%). [6] [1] Less common symptoms include hyposmia [en.wikipedia.org]

• Epistaxis

  Patient presented with an increase in the frequency and severity of epistaxis of 2 weeks duration, which was seen on blowing the nose. There was no history of spontaneous episodes of epistaxis. [amhsjournal.org]

  However, it is reasonable to believe that the rich tumor vascularity is the cause for epistaxis, which can be recurrent and intractable for large tumor. [ajnr.org]

• Polyps

  What causes nasal polyps? The exact cause of benign nasal polyps is unknown at this time. There are multiple factors that may contribute to the growth of nasal polyps. They often represent the final result of chronic inflammation. [calsinus.com]

  These include: polyps (smooth growths of tissue) papillomas growths of small blood vessels, known as angiofibromas and haemangiomas Papillomas are wart like growths that are not cancers. But they can cause damage. [cancerresearchuk.org]

  Note: multiple para-nasal osteomas are found in Gardner's syndrome, which also includes cutaneous and soft tissues tumors in addition to colonic polyps with a predilection to malignant degeneration. [radiologyassistant.nl]

Treatment Options by Stage For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section. [cancer.gov]

This procedure is particularly useful assessing surgical treatment and should be performed whenever possible to exclude the malignant nature of the lesion and avoid over-treatment. All three patients underwent surgery and are alive and disease-free. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A predictive factor influences how a cancer will respond to a certain treatment. Prognostic and predictive factors are often discussed together, and they both play a part in deciding on a treatment plan and a prognosis. [cancer.ca]

Treatment considerations The treatments for benign and malignant nasal and sinus tumors are highly complex and may involve evaluation by several medical specialties including otolaryngology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, neurosurgery and others [care.american-rhinologic.org]

It is no surprise that the prognosis would be worse in these cases. [en.wikipedia.org]

Their prognosis varies considerably. Low grade tumors have an excellent prognosis while the outcome for high grade lesions is worse. Melanoma also arises in the nasal cavity mucosa, similar to the melanomas that occur on the skin. [ahns.info]
