Abstract |
We have presented the first reported case of malignant teratocarcinosarcoma arising in the sphenoid sinus treated successfully with surgery and radiation therapy. The patient shows no signs of recurrence 5 years after surgery. The combined head and neck/neurosurgical approach using complete rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy with transsphenoid/transethmoid approach is advocated for sphenoid sinus tumors of this type.
