Sinonasal involvement is uncommon and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This scoping review synthesises literature on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes of sinonasal Rosai-Dorfman disease.Method: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus and Embase. Articles were screened using Endnote. Studies reporting sinonasal Rosai-Dorfman disease were included. The review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-ScR (Scoping Review) guidelines.Results: Thirty studies comprising 36 patients were included. Common symptoms were nasal obstruction (80.6 per cent) and epistaxis (41.7 per cent). Computed tomography (75 per cent) and magnetic resonance imaging (36.1 per cent) were primary imaging modalities. Histopathology showed emperipolesis (66.7 per cent), S-100 (69.4 per cent) and CD68 (47.2 per cent) positivity. Management was mainly surgical (72.2 per cent), with corticosteroids (44.4 per cent), radiotherapy (5.6 per cent) and chemotherapy (5.6 per cent) used less frequently. Outcomes included complete resolution (38.9 per cent), stable disease (38.9 per cent) and recurrence (16.7 per cent).Conclusion: Diagnosis relies on histopathology and imaging. Surgical procedures, often with corticosteroids, remain the primary treatment. Future research should guide diagnostic and treatment protocols.","PeriodicalId":16293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Laryngology and Otology","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144742288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maxillectomy was completed with an external transfacial approach in four patients and with a transoral approach in two. No intraoperative complications were observed. Five patients had postoperative flap dehiscence; two cases healed spontaneously and three cases required surgery.Conclusion: EAM allows delimitation of the posterior limit of tumour resection in total or subtotal maxillectomies.

The 30 per cent incidence drop during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may be attributable to reduced exposure to risk factors, reduced contact between susceptible patients and health professionals and pandemic-related deaths of at-risk populations.
