Abstract:
Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is one of the rarest and most highly invasive malignant neoplasms often found in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. SNTCS is often misdiagnosed because of its morphological heterogeneity. Due to its rarity, clinical characteristics and optimal therapy have not been well-established. Here, we present a case of SNTCS with orbital and intracranial extensions. A 48-year-old male patient presented with left-side nasal obstruction for 3 years. He appeared with visual and neurological symptoms 2 months ago. On radiographic examination, a mass was observed in the left paranasal sinuses with orbital and intracranial extension involvement. The mass was surgically resected. In the future, knowledge of this entity may assist in the accurate diagnosis and proper management of SNTCS.
