Postoperative Correlation of Radiological and Surgical Findings in Management of Ethmoid Sinus Adenocarcinoma

Aims: Prognosis of ethmoid sinus adenocarcinoma (ADK) is essentially determined by local tumor control. There is a high rate of recurrence of these tumors across the range of patient series. Development of an optimal follow-up protocol of such tumors is recommended. Patients and methods: A retrospective, monocentric study was carried out including all patients diagnosed with ADK who underwent surgery and were followed up at our center between 2012 and 2016 and who were monitored postoperatively using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathological verification of suspicious areas identified via imaging. Time to postoperative MRI, time to recurrence and sites of recurrence were obtained for each patient.
