ABSTRACT

Introduction: Tumors in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in children is a serious problem in the pediatric population, mainly due to the non-specificity of the symptoms that leads to years or months passing before the suspicion of a neoplastic pathology. With an important impact in quality of life not only in the patient but also in its family environment. When suspecting a sinonasal tumor, diagnostic images such as magnetic resonance and computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses are required. When you have an etiological diagnosis always do a multidisciplinary approach. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of the cohort of patients that had been diagnose with tumors of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses in a fourth level pediatric hospital in Bogota, Colombia between 2013 - 2018. Results: 54 patients were included, the majority of them were men, with an average age of eight years. They mainly presented with nasal symptoms, the main one being nasal obstruction in 80% of patients. The most common diagnosis was cranipharyngioma in one third of the patients, followed by nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and Burkitt lymphoma. Conclusion: We present this article with the objective of presenting the tumors of nose and paranasal sinuses casuistry collected during 5 years in a fourth level pediatric hospital in the city of Bogotá and the imaging characteristics for the diagnosis of these are reviewed with some clinical cases as examples.
