Sinonasal Teratocarcinosarcoma - a rare case report
Muktanjalee Deka, Manisha Salvi
Abstract :
Sinonasal Teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is a very unusual and aggressive neoplasm characterized by a histologic combination of malignant teratoma and carcinosarcoma with a triphasic growth pattern including epithelial, mesenchymal and primitive neuroectodermal components. This neoplasm is mostly seen in adults with a mean age of 55 years. Here, we report a SNTCS in a 17 year old male presented with left sided nasal mass for last 6 months which was surgically resected. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma. SNTCS is highly malignant and locally aggressive. About 60% patients do not survive beyond 3 years. Total excision and extensive sampling are necessary to reach the diagnosis. Early diagnosis and management can give a better prognosis.
