Abstract:Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus.Methods The clinical data and clinicopathological features of 3 patients with SHML were reported and reviewed.Results Nasal congestion is a mainly symptom of the clinical features of SHML. The phenomenon of “sealing” was observed in the sinus histiocytes with diffuse infiltration of lymph and plasma cells, which was a histopathological feature of SHML. Immunohistochemical staining showed expressions of CD68 and S-100 in tumor cells.Conclusions SHML is a kind of histiocytoproliferative lesion.SHML occurring in the nasal sinuses is very rare and its clinical manifestations lack specificity. The pathological diagnosis is the gold standard and SHML is mainly treated by surgery, but its curative effect is poor.
