Komfo Anokye Eğitim Hastanesinde sinonazal kanserlerin klinik ve histopatolojik özellikleri
Objective:To determine the incidence, clinical and histopathological presentations of the paranasal sinus tumors in Komfo AnokyeTeaching Hospital, Kumasi, Ghana.Methods:All cases of sinonasal cancers diagnosed between January2007 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.Results: Of the 68 patients (38 males, 30 females) whose charts werereviewed, the median age was 49 (range: 14 to 84) years. The commonclinical presentations were epistaxis (23%), nasal mass (20%), headache(12%), nasal blockage (12%), nasal discharge (11%), proptosis (9%),cheek swelling (8%), and epiphora (5%). The most commonhistopathological subtypes were squamous cell carcinoma (39.6%) andadenocarcinoma (25%). Conclusion:Sinonasal tumors are frequent in male adults and present with epistaxis, nasal mass, blocked nose and nasal discharge, whilesquamous cell carcinoma remains the common histopathologicaltype
