It differs from gnathic ameloblastoma in terms of clinicopathologic features, management and prognosis. Thus, the objective of the present review was to study the complications, survival, recurrence rate and outcomes following the management of SNA. The electronic search process was conducted on PubMed-Medline, Embase, and Scopus. Google Scholar was used to search grey literature. Quality assessment of the case reports (CR) and case series (CS) was done based on CARE guidelines. The initial search resulted in 2111 articles. 15 studies (13 CR and 2 CS) were found to meet the eligibility criteria. The majority of the studies described histological features of SNA, which were consistent with ameloblastomas of gnathic origin. There were no SNA-related deaths reported in the included studies. Five studies described endoscopic surgeries to remove SNAs, and three SNAs were treated with post-surgery radiotherapy. Data from included studies suggest that sinonasal ameloblastomas are histologically similar to gnathic ameloblastomas, but their clinical presentation is different. They may cause complete or partial obstruction of the nasal cavity and the sinus. They appear to affect an older demographic, and their resection may be accompanied by the excision of a large portion of the maxilla, necessitating maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12010381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T02:54:55Z","timestamp":1672800895000},"page":"381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Clinicopathologic Profile, Management and Outcome of Sinonasal Ameloblastoma\u2014A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4174-907X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vini","family":"Mehta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Dr. D.Y.
