Résumé
Nasal vestibule squamous cell carcinoma (NVSCC) is an exceedingly rare malignancy, often misclassified due to its anatomical location and lack of a standardized definition. This review aims to consolidate current evidence on NVSCC, focusing on epidemiology, risk factors, classification, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors. The NV anatomy is delineated, emphasizing the need for a clear definition to avoid misclassification. Risk factors include smoking, sunlight exposure, and debated associations with chalk exposure or viral factors. Clinical presentation includes symptoms like nasal obstruction, pain, burning, and bleeding, often misdiagnosed as inflammatory conditions. NVSCC exhibits distinct local spread patterns along cartilaginous surfaces, with the facial and submandibular lymph nodes at higher metastatic risk. Current classifications lack consensus, hindering comparison of outcomes. Treatment varies, with surgery or radiotherapy for early-stage tumors and multimodality approaches for advanced cases. The choice between surgery and radiotherapy is debated, with potential advantages and drawbacks for each. Radiotherapy, especially with Interventional RadioTherapy (IRT, previously known as brachytherapy), is gaining prominence, showing promising outcomes in terms of local control and cosmetic results. Prophylactic neck treatment remains controversial, with indications based on tumor characteristics. Prognostic factors include T classification, tumor size, surgical margins, nodal involvement, and histological features. Long-term survival rates range widely, emphasizing the need for further studies to refine management strategies for this rare malignancy. In conclusion, NVSCC poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, warranting multidisciplinary approaches and continued research efforts to optimize patient outcomes.
