BACKGROUND Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with histological features of both carcinosarcoma and teratoma. The optimal management of this malignancy is unclear, with most patients being managed by a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION We describe an 83-year-old white woman with sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma of her left nasal cavity tr...

Teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare, morphologically heterogeneous and highly malignant neoplasm. It is characterized by the presence of benign and malignant epithelial, mesenchymal and neural components. The carcinoma may be either squamous or adenocarcinoma and the mesenchymal component may manifest spindle, smooth, skeletal muscle, cartilage and bone features. Because of their infrequency, these ...

Background: With only about a hundred published cases at this time, sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare disease managed definitively with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy. With no level I evidence, this management has been based on previous case reports, series and systematic reviews. At this time, there is no guideline on how to manage recurrent disease due t...

sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (sntcs) is a rare tumor characterized by mixture architecture of epithelial and mesenchymal components. sntcs is a highly malignant tumor displaying progressive and aggressive growth with poor prognosis. only about 40% of all patients survive after five years. it seems the combination of surgery and radiotherapy currently is the most effective treatment. in this r...

Background/objectives: Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare aggressive malignant tumor arising in the sinonasal tract and a malignant neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. As the tumor contains various components of teratoma, sarcoma and carcinoma arising from cells of embryonic origin majority of the patients suffer locoregional failure. Case report: A 35-year-old patient reported with histo...
