Special features: Written by three international authorities who have published and lectured widely and conducted landmark studies in this area, Covers the full range of benign and malignant nose and sinus tumors, as well as the specific nasopharyngeal tumors that are more common to certain geographic regions (Far East) and ethnic groups (Chinese origin), Content is based on one of the largest single institutional studies ever undertaken, plus an extensive review of the international literature, Encompasses every aspect of the field, from etiology, clinical features, histology, imaging studies, and diagnosis to natural history, treatment options, outcomes, and management of residual or recurrent disease, Includes up-to-date contributions from experts on chemoradiation and head and neck imaging. With the goal of centralizing data and long-term follow-up, this comprehensive guide is invaluable for all otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, oncologists, neurosurgeons, and maxillofacial and plastic surgeons who treat patients with challenging sinonasal, skull base, and nasopharyngeal neoplasms"--Provided by publisher
