{"title":"Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Laryngeal Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.","authors":"Yu Wang, Delong Liu, Cuiping She","doi":"10.1177/01455613231155853","DOIUrl":"10.1177/01455613231155853","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment characteristics of primary laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma.Patients and MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 6 patients with primary laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Dalian Central Hospital from September 2015 to January 2022, all of whom were male patients. And laryngoscopy showed that 4 had a similar appearance to hemangioma, 1 had nodular hyperplasia, and 1 was papilloma-like. The site of onset was located on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis in 3 cases, situated in the aryepiglottic fold in 2 cases, and the posterior ventricular zone in 1 case. Five patients underwent surgery, including 4 by transoral endoscopic cryogenic plasma radiofrequency mass resection; one underwent a cervical lymph node dissection and supraglottic horizontal hemilaryngectomy. The remaining 1 case was treated in another hospital after the pathological diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. All patients had no cervical lymph node metastases and were not supplemented with chemoradiotherapy.ResultsThe postoperative pathological diagnosis of all 5 patients was neuroendocrine carcinoma. No cancer cells were seen at the margins and base. One patient was lost to follow-up after treatment in another hospitals and the rest were followed up for 6 months to 6 years. One patient had removed laryngeal tumor and epiglottis by a low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation, recurrence 1 year after surgery, and no recurrence for 5 years after supraglottic horizontal hemilaryngectomy combined with prophylactic cervical lymph node dissection, no recurrence for the other 4 patients after 6 months to 4 years of follow-up.ConclusionThe common sites of laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma are the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis and the aryepiglottic fold. The appearance of the tumor is mainly similar to that of hemangioma. Moreover, a common pathological classification is atypical carcinoid tumors, where early detection and surgical treatment can achieve a good therapeutic effect.</p>","PeriodicalId":51041,"journal":{"name":"Ent-Ear Nose & Throat Journal","volume":" ","pages":"NP654-NP659"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9198531","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 latency and interpeak latency were analyzed at each surgical step in combination with the pre- and postoperative PTA.ResultsFollow-up data were available for 17 patients. The mean pre- and postoperative PTA values were 25.65 dB and 20.70 dB, respectively. Two patients (2/17, 11.76%) developed hearing loss postoperatively. The latency of wave І significantly changed during direct auditory nerve manipulation and at the end of the surgery, while that of wave III only changed during direct auditory nerve manipulation. The appearance of wave V peak was delayed during CPA surgery.ConclusionsCPA surgery for cranial neuropathy via the retrosigmoid approach can cause hearing loss to varying degrees, and intraoperative BAEP monitoring can reduce the occurrence of hearing loss. Intraoperative hearing function can be estimated by the latency of wave I. Hearing loss due to stretching of the brainstem can be estimated by the latency of wave III, and wave V is an early indicator of intraoperative hearing loss. Waves I and III remained stable both pre- and postoperatively, whereas wave V was unstable despite no surgery. Therefore, a precise operation and well-defined operative steps for surgeons during CPA surgery could facilitate maximal preservation of the anatomical structure and function.</p>","PeriodicalId":51041,"journal":{"name":"Ent-Ear Nose & Throat Journal","volume":" ","pages":"NP660-NP668"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10554984","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}

We aim to conduct a review of published literature on sinonasal schwannomas with and without intracranial extension and provide additional case representations.MethodsA literature review was conducted using the PubMed Database with the terms \"sinonasal schwannoma,\" \"intracranial,\" \"anterior skull base,\" and \"schwannoma.\" Results were reviewed, and additional cases identified were referenced and included in the study. Inclusion criteria were any case with intracranial extension of the schwannoma. There were no exclusion criteria. Review data was compiled into Excel and used for data analysis and comparison. Additionally, a search was done within our institution to identify additional cases of sinonasal schwannoma.ResultsWe identified 17 cases of sinonasal schwannoma with intracranial extension, five from our institution and twelve from literature.
