Most of the studies used thin liquids for assessment, and the evaluation process often transitioned from thin or thick liquids to solids/semi-solids. Adverse outcomes occurred regardless of the treatment. However, dysphagia seemed to get worse in the short term after surgery. In terms of interventions, thickeners might have a positive effect on the patient's swallowing function.

Two such cases are reported here, along with the respective treatment approaches. The first involved a 39-year-old male patient diagnosed with HPV-positive multiphenotypic carcinoma. Surgical treatment was performed through a craniofacial and transfacial approach, en bloc resection, and reconstruction of the anterior cranial base with a fascia lata graft and pericranial flap.

In both cases, adjuvant radiotherapy was performed after obtaining the histopathological result and negative margins. Both patients were free of disease during postoperative follow-up. Given the rarity of these cases, there are no established guidelines outlining specific treatments. It is recommended that such tumours are assessed in interdisciplinary committees to determine the optimal treatment options. Typically, this will involve surgical resection via craniofacial and transfacial approaches or endoscopic surgery, depending on the diagnosis, extent of anatomical involvement, and tumour aggressiveness.
