Abstract

A 20 years old Afghan male was suffering from left sided nasal obstruction with headache for one year. On examination, patient had reddish, fleshy mass in left nasal cavity. Carotid angiography was inconclusive so incision biopsy was taken from nasal mass and it was reported as teratocarcinosarcoma. CT scan of PNS was done which showed heterogeneous mass in nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses with intracranial extension. The patient was operated. The approach was a combination of lateral rhinotomy with trans-basal sub-frontal craniotomy. He was treated by Co 60 and received a tumour dose of 56 Gy radiation. He is being followed regularly every 2 months after his final radiotherapy session and he is disease-free so far.
