Abstract

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm characterized by the combined histological features of carcinosarcoma and teratoma. The primary symptoms of this tumor are usually nasal obstruction and epistaxis, and a nasal cavity mass is the most common clinical finding. The authors describe an exceptionally rare case in which the patient presented with massive intracranial extension and exhibited confusion as an initial symptom. He subsequently underwent combined radical surgery and radiation therapy and has remained free of disease for 31 months. The surgical approach to the lesion, histological features, and clinical course are detailed.
