Abstract We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient who was admitted in our clinic for right nasal obstruction, antero-posterior mucopurulent rhinorrhea, recurrent right micro-epistaxis, hyposmia, cacosmia and right hemicrania. ENT findings and CT scan detects proliferative, polylobate, vascularized tumor formation occupying the right nasal nostril, with muco-purulent secretions lining the tumor formation. The tumor pushes the intersinusal wall to the side and the nasal septum to the contralateral nostril. The apparent origin is at the level of the right middle nasal meatus, but we could not identify a clear limit from the nasopharynx lateral and posterior wall. Resection of the entire tumor formation was performed under endoscopic control. The histopathological outcome revealed undifferentiated carcinoma; immunohistochemical tests were performed and support the myoepithelial origins.

ABSTRACT Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is a rare tumor of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. It can be differentiated from other neoplasms by correlating clinical, light microscopic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characteristics. Due to the small number of reported cases, the ideal treatment regimen has not been systematically evaluated. The treatment of SNUC includes aggressive multimodality therapy, including surgical resection and adjuvant treatment (i.e. radiotherapy, chemotherapy) because of high rate of both loco-regional recurrence and distant metastasis.
