Allergic Rhinitis Epidemiology
Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of noninfectious rhinitis
At least 500 million individuals world-wide have allergic
rhinitis and it is one of the most common reasons for
attendance with a primary care practitioner
Almost 30% of adults and 40% of children are affected
World-wide the prevalence of allergic rhinitis continues
to increase

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor of the sinonasal tract. The purpose of this study was to characterize a single institution's
experience with this malignancy.
METHODS:
Retrospective review was performed of patients with adenocarcinoma of the sinonasal tract from 1993 to 2009. Demographic
data, disease presentation, treatment, and survival rates were collected and evaluated.
RESULTS:
We identified 66 patients with sinonasal adenocarcinoma; 48 were men and 18 women. Average age at time of diagnosis was 57.1
years (range, 20-88 years), and median follow-up was 55.3 months (range, 1-238 months). The ethmoid sinus (38%)
and nasal cavity (36%) were the most common sites of origin. Nasal obstruction (36%), epistaxis (30%), and nasal discharge
(21%) were the most common presenting symptoms. Fifty-one percent of patients presented with T1 or T2 tumors. Surgery
was the primary form of treatment in 81% of patients. Twenty-six percent of surgical patients underwent an endoscopic
tumor resection. Adjuvant radiation was utilized in 50% of patients and chemotherapy in 10%. Recurrence was seen in 24
patients (37%): 29% recurred locally and 7.6% recurred distantly. The overall 5-year survival was 65.9%. Survival was
decreased significantly in patients with T4 tumors (p < .05), high-grade histology (p < .05), and sphenoid sinus involvement
(p < .05). Survival was not affected by surgical approach between endoscopic and open approaches (p = .76).
CONCLUSION:
Sinonasal adenocarcinomas are commonly identified in the sinonasal cavity and are associated with a relatively favorable
prognosis, despite a substantial local failure rate of 30%. Advanced-stage tumors, sphenoid sinus and skull base invasion,
and high-grade histology portend poor prognosis. In our experience, endoscopic resection was not associated with adverse
outcomes and suggests that this minimally invasive approach can provide acceptable oncologic outcomes in selected
patients. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2014.
